Eclipse Photos

Maximum eclipse and people watching it from a field south of Dorchester, Dorset. K3iii + DA55-300mm, eclipse photo with ND1000 filter, live view, handheld. Just a bit of fun and what I expected - and was proved to be right - would be a sociable occasion. The light level dropped a bit but the temperature didn't drop and if you didn't know what was happening above then you'd never have guessed.

Feel free to add your own photos.

It was an 'interesting' light, wasn't it? Same here in Edinburgh, sitting in the park, loads of folk around just watching. Serene in a way. Your second image catches it perfectly.

i had a go using my Dodgy Asahi Pentax LX Mk II + SMC Pentax-A 400mm f5.6 lens on tripod and outdated ORWO NP20 film which I processed in a Home-Made 2 bath Formula -- I took OFF THE LX PENTAPRISM tghen quickly FOUND the Eclipse and SNAPPED before I got a HOLE burnt in the shutter OR my EYE !! I set 'Infinity' on the lens Manually BUT it was OUT so all were not sharp .
As the Best Bit came the SUN went DOWN behind houses opposite and trees !
