Partial solar eclipse shadow bands?
I was at Uluru during the partial/annular solar eclipse and had to drive back before the last contact. There were some patchy clouds covering the Sun and I noticed quite peculiar bands of shadows above the Olgas and Ayers Rock when driving back.
I attached a quick snap of the effect taken May 9th 2013, 23:19 UTC (37 minutes before the last contact), the camera is pointing roughly south and the Sun is beyond the left-hand side of the image. Are these the shadow bands produced by the "pinhole" effect in the clouds?
I'll post more images when I get back home (driving a motorhome with the family) at the end of May and get a chance to process them.
Cheers,
Alex
