Louisville was 99.7% total, so I had to drive up to Hoosier National Forest in Indiana to catch totality. You need a solar filter to get shots of the sun outside of totality but you can put your eclipse glasses over your phone and use it as a filter if you're just shooting with your phone. Lol, I ordered a cheap paper solar filter just for the occasion...but it didn't fit over any of my lenses. Weren't any roosters around surprisingly but the cows sure had a lot to say about the eclipse.
