[Whitey (Rob Whitehead)]

Here are some shots from the recent annular eclipse.

Location was a small hill around 10km down the Jigalong Mission Road, about 105km south of Newman.

All taken with a 5DMk3 using the Canon 400mm/5.6L with 1.4TC mounted on a RRS tripod with BH-55 ballhead.

1st shot 1/350th f/8 ISO 100 no filter - environmental portrait at sunrise

2nd shot 1/3000th f/8 ISO 100 no filter - point of maximum anularity

3rd shot Thousand Oaks Optical black polymer filter - partial solar eclipse

All just processed through lightroom with no other mods apart from a border, sig and final levels adjustment in Photoshop.

(The first one shows some pretty gnarly JPEG compression artifact in the web version!)

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Rob
