Photographer Colleen Pinski used a super telephoto lens and a Canon 7D to help secure this larger than life image, as well as a hot-mirror to protect the camera sensor, and some ND filters. She travelled 370 miles from Denver to find the perfect spot to shoot this solar eclipse in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this photo, a boy stands 1.5 miles away from the photographer on a ridge, and is framed perfectly by the outline of the sun.

Guidelines:
On Wednesday we took an initial first look at the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, but as the dust settles, it’s clear that the damage and suffering caused by the storm is massive. Here are some of the latest photos to show the aftermath of this storm, which has caused an estimated 167 deaths in the US and Caribbean and upwards of $50 billion in damages. Around 4.6 million homes and businesses are still without power, shorelines are in ruin, streets are flooded, and fights have broken out at gas stations. Next to Hurricane Katrina, this may be the 2nd most costly storm in US history. We hope everyone in the community is safe and that they’re able to return to their lives as soon as possible.
