Great shot! I messed up after getting very nervous. I gave up and just enjoyed the magnificent view.

May I ask you, did you shot in full manual?

Yes I think so. Since the partial eclipse lasts for 1+h I was able to spend loads of time messing around with the exposure. However, I forgot (or I guess just didn't realize) that the brightness would be completely different once we reached totality. I had removed the ND filter 1min or so prior to totality, and knew to adjust the exposure using histogram. What I forgot initially was that I had to boost ISO. Luckily the M3 touch screen makes that reasonably easy. Overall I was happy with the results though. The best thing I have from the eclipse is video shot on tripod, looking at my kids as they viewed the totality event happen.
