More dusty pics

Nothing like Andrews amazing pic from earlier in the week

I noticed it had been getting darker all day and on a trip to the shops took my camera up to the local lookout on the off chance I could grab a shot. Not so when I got to the platform the sun was still fully
illuminated so photography wasn't going to happen. Was about to walk back down when I noticed it seems to be getting darker by the second.
Looking back to the west the approching dust is starting to envelope the suns disk .

The widefield shots were a 1/sec exposure from memory perched on any odd post on the viewing platform, the rest just auto on my cannon powershot.All a bit rushed I'm afraid to bright to totality was
4 minutes.

Lovely shots mate, it's so unusual to see the sun a silvery blue colour during these dust storms.
I imagine that's how it looks on Mars.

Glad you got some shots to have as a keepsake of the event.

Cheers
Andrew
