Parts of North America and Europe were wowed by the standout astrophotography event of the year, yesterday evening: a total solar eclipse. Switzerland-based Nikon photographer Angel Fux (@angelfux) traveled to Spain to capture the phenomenon in the optimal location, following over two years of preparation. She had just 103 seconds to capture the moment, all while operating two Nikon cameras and following strict safety precautions.
I was lucky enough to chat to the landscape and astrophotographer – who is known for hiking out to secluded mountainous locations – just days before the event. Angel had promised to deliver a stunning photograph of the total eclipse for publication, and as you read on to find out just how much planning was involved, you’ll realize that the gorgeous images that populate this article were never in doubt.
