Photography hobbyist here: our eyes adapt to light more than we realize. What to us is a slight change in brightness is a dramatic difference to a photo camera.

I’m not checking to see if the sun is still there every time the ambient light outside dims, y’know what I mean?

If you ever get the chance to see one it’s actually quite a bit more odd than a cloud passing over. It feels kinda wrong. The sunlight doesn’t warm like it should. Shadows do funny things especially around things like tree leaves. The colors are just kinda eerie.
But yeah if you don’t know it’s happening it is totally possible to miss a partial eclipse if you’re inside or busy and just passing through outside.

I saw last year’s North American eclipse in the path of totality. I know what you mean. It is very strange.

Yeah I traveled for that one and just barely avoided the clouds. Memory of a lifetime.
