Eclipse was on while I was at work

But in the typical Kiwi way, why not combine the two. I had to work, but was fortunate to be able to take my old gear with me. I shot a still frame every 5 minutes, and once I get the web guru kick started I will get him to produce an animation.

Sorry folks, can't seem to upload any images, I had hoped to show you how I got around this. Maybe tomorrow, stay tuned.

EDIT, OK, getting there slowly.

Thanks guys, it is a dream job, and no, I don't own it, just drive it.
The animation is done, try http://www.totalwebsolutionz.co.nz/zeissnut/pictures-animation-eclipse.html
The lovely orange glow of the sun is from the Zeiss SFO63 Solar filter.
