Eclipse Chasers Atheneum (ECa), the eclipse sphere of SPACE calls all photographers and photography enthusiasts.
This year, on morning of 22nd of July, the umbral shadow of the moon will be passing over the rich heritage of our country. The Greatest eclipse of the century is just few days away from us and is tailor-made for India. It crosses the entire breadth of India starting from the westernmost state of Gujarat to the easternmost state, Arunachal Pradesh. The path of totality passes over 13 Indian states including the small area called the Chicken's Neck in West Bengal. Not only this, partial eclipse is visible throughout the country.
A Life time Photographic Opportunity.
India itself is full of great photographic opportunities, with its diverse culture, people, landscape and the anatomy of the nation changing every few miles. The Total eclipse of 22nd July 2009 is visible from 13 states of India, each having a unique flavor, a unique culture and rich heritage of our past. And here is the opportunity of a lifetime where we can capture the ephemeral eclipse casting its shadow over the monuments/heritage sites across all these states and can preserve a rare happening in time for posterity. The eclipse is visible from many important sites like Taj Mahal (90% eclipse), Mahabodhi Temple (Totality), Sanchi Stupa (Totality), Khajurao Temples (99.7% eclipse), City of Temples - Varanasi (Totality).
The Project
With so much in the offer, we can't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Cosmic Crossroads - a project proposed by Atish Aman, an avid photographer, astronomer and a member of SPACE -, endeavors to bring together a group of photographers who are passionate about photography as well as this project, and who would volunteer to go to an assigned location to capture this phenomenon on camera, and contribute the images to the collective pool. Thus we could build a rich and resourceful collection of images showcasing the eclipse cast its shadow over many important heritage sites across the breadth of the country.
