I like because it’s difficult for the camera to capture what the naked eye can see, but this come close


Cheers Mark

Great shot, Carlos! How did you get the cloud in the just the right position?

Thank you very much Mark

That's so true, I think this captures the ambient light, despite it being a composition. In the original photo the disc of the moon is totally overexposed (posted in my first solar eclipse thread).

well we rehearsed it a few times until we got it right

Thank you very much Rick

Very nice. It would improve if you corrected for lens distortion so the horizon is not curved upwards and was level.

It looks like the sun is on fire or a big black meteor entering the atmosphere trailing smoke.

Excellent shot!

Thank you very much Greg! Agreed I just had a quick play with it then and it makes a significant difference

here it is ... a little bit wobbly I think but I do prefer it, I used the puppet transform tool in PS6.

Thanks again Greg
