I've never been interested in photographing the actual sun and moon during an eclipse. My interest is in photographing what the eclipse lighting does to the scenery. In this sense, partial eclipses are almost as good as a total eclipse.
Were I was, the event reached 97% totality. In the about 10 to 15 minutes before and after it reached that point the lighting was very nice. According to the National Weather Service, the time of maximum totality at Saratoga Springs was 3:26 PM. The battlefield is about 8 miles southeast so the time should be almost the same.
These are all without any filter although they are processed to bring the shadows up and the highlights down. My camera clock is set by my MacBook Pro which is set by the ghost of Steve Jobs so it is accurate.
