Camera Body: Canon 5D Mark III, Camera Lens: Canon EF 100-400 mm F4.5-5.6L Lens

Description:

End of Totality Prominences (C3 Contact): Pleasantly surprised that I caught the most active chromosphere section between the 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm hour clock orientation of the sun! This is a single exposure shot right at the cusp of totality ending and the 3rd contact is just about to happen. The timestamp is 3:29:50 pm EDT. Based on the relative Earth to Sun diameter information the diameter measures at 100% resolution on Photoshop. I tried to fit a scaled Earth image to show how huge the prominences are relative to Earth. I've placed scaled Earth images next to the two biggest prominences.
