Partial Eclipse Adelaide

[cactus]

Hi,

Almost forgot about the eclipse, and just happened to have my camera with me - but left my sun filter at home!
Managed to get this shot off anyway. (no I did not look through my camera, took the risk-imaged it onto my shirt, random shots)
300mm (50%cropped)
ISO 100
1/4000 sec
f32
Polarizing filter on

all for maximum darkness.

Just got it!

I'd flagged it away as yet another bad joke. But when I came out of work at 4:00 there was a sucker hole, so being a sucker I raced home (<5 mins!) and hurriedly fashioned a pinhole camera from a cardboard box just in time for the cloud to come over...

Oh well, you get that!

Al.

Well I had the Ha scope out and got a glimpse, looked interesting I must say, but the cloud and the tree in my neighbours yard killed any chance of getting any images. Next time.

Great that you were able to capture the eclispe

Amazing that you got this without a solar filter.
