Thank you all very much :)

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? :lol:

[ourkind]

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).



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

Thank you very much Rick :)

[ourkind]

Thank you very much Adam :)

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!

[ourkind]

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

[ourkind]

:lol: Great imagination! I see exactly what you mean :thumbsup:

Thanks you very much OICURMT :)

[ourkind]

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 :)
