Embrace totality, live in the moment
It’s at this point that you may opt to put your technology down and simply experience the eclipse as a person witnessing a rare and spectacular natural phenomenon. Let your motorized or robotic devices do the work while you take some time to be an awestruck human. If you must, grab a DSLR camera or your phone to snap some pics, but be sure to revel in the moment.
You could also use this time to do some people watching, to catch the stunned reactions of those around you. At the end of the day, photos or videos aren’t important—the real significance lies in the experience of watching the eclipse and participating in the event, be it with friends, family, or on your own.
