Details:
Holy smoke! What an unforgettable sight. My wife Linda and I caught the setting Sun just moments after the "ring of fire" was broken. This is a 1/40-sec exposure at ISO 400 using a Nikon D700 camera and a Nikkor 300 mm telephoto lens at f4.0. The image was snapped at 8:42 PM CDT from a point about 20 miles west of Sundown, Texas.
