2024 Solar Eclipse in HDR

Two real-time recordings of the totality period of the eclipse, one using a stationary telephoto lens, and the other with a wide angle lens looking around at the environment. This video is HDR and looks much better on a HDR display, such as an OLED TV, Apple XDR display, and most smartphones.
I traveled to Sandusky, Ohio to see the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. On the morning of the eclipse, looking at the weather and the projected path of the moon's shadow, I decided to drive to a park in the town of Huron. At this location, totality lasted about 3 minutes 51 seconds.
Puffy clouds in the morning cleared out around noon, then a thin transparent layer covered the sky at 2pm, before the eclipse. Luckily the sun's corona was visible through the clouds, although they most certainly reduced the visibility of stars during totality. But the clouds caught the light, enhancing the appearance of the eclipse shadow in the sky.
