solar eclipse of today

I did some pics with my pocket cam, near too late, so I catched only the last part. I tried different settings. We had an eclipse of about 70% here in DD.


blue sky 😉 first clouds came up. The reflection is a mirror image of the eclipse.


a try with handhold binoculars in front of lens


more clouds with more reflections of the sun, but interesting colors


next try


some minutes later, shadow of earth moves out of sun, cloudy, cloudy…


manual settings for shutter speed


this became blue anyhow, maybe the blue of the sky? :smurf:

  1. Many thanks! I agree – the fourth is the best. I had to try a lot, used a tripod but had to hold a binocular in front of lens by hand. The metal film, usual for eclipse-glasses, I fixed with tape.The „radio tower“ is a cell phone (cluster) antenna on the roof of a storage about 400 m from home.The reason I was late and I missed the best phases: I was sleeping (sometimes my son simply sleeps when I’m in room and we go to bed together; he’s 9 month old) and my wife, after wondering about the queer light that fell in, remembered in the eclipse and waked me up.Thank you all!
