Total Annular SOLAR Eclipse

Photo Workshop

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

October 13- 15, 2023

Capture the "Ring of Fire" over the beautiful Crater Lake

What better place to experience the awe of the total annular solar eclipse than over the awe-inspiring Crater Lake?

This magical lake was formed 7700 years ago when a volcanic cone collapsed on itself. Over time the crater filled, creating the deepest, most pristine lake in the United States. On a clear day, you've never seen a lake this blue.

The workshop will be led by nature and night photography workshop teacher Barb Gonzalez who conducts weekly tours and workshops during Spring and Summer in Central Oregon.

What is the difference between a total eclipse and an annular eclipse?

During a total eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun. In an annular eclipse, the moon isn’t as far away, so when the eclipse is at its peak, it doesn’t cover the whole orb of the sun, leaving a “ring of fire” around the moon shadow in the sky.
