Looks interesting Alex. I don't think it can be shadow bands though, because my understanding is that these are caused by atmospheric refraction of the very thin solar crescent (which is why they are only seen in the moments before and after totality).The shadow bands that result from this refraction will always be parallel with the long axis of the thin crescent The ones I captured last November were much thinner than what you have here.

Where is the sun in this image? Could it just be cloud shadows being cast on the hazy atmosphere?

Cheers,
Stephen
