Eclipse Pictures

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you got any decent photos of the eclipse today?

Here are mine:

Didn't see bugger all, had to pop out during phasing and the headlights came on on my car but that's it :lol:

No pics I'm afraid but it's cloudless here in rural south Wales & the eclipse so far is stunning & casting a very weird light.

You got a better view than I did.

Cloud cover far too thick down here, so just saw it get a bit dim.

Ended up watching the stargazing live stream instead.

Ah that's unlucky Laurie and Alex, it was pretty clear here for a while but the clouds came as soon as it started to go darker.

Just looked dull and cloudy here (and a tad darker). Now it's suddenly all clear and the sun is out. Typical!

One my brother took, in glorious colour, and a black and white that I took. I had to reflect from a tablet screen, switch iPhone to mono then highlight where the sun was to bring the brightness down to an acceptable level for focus.

Basically, I missed the first near hour of it... had it on my mind all morning, got into the office, started working away until half 9, then remembered it was on.... went over to the window.... let's just say it was an utter disappointment :P

It was marginally darker outside than it normally is at that time of day, nothing really special, but certainly noticeably darker, although not by a whole lot.

Ended up watching it on the Beeb for a bit.

I was working :(

Pretty awesome, Dave :)

wow nice! I was expecting it to get quite dark, not just a little bit dimmer than normal. Granted it's only a partial eclipse but it still should have been darker!

Cheers. It is a great camera and served me well on holiday in the USA last year and will see service in NYC in November :)

I took this one off my iPhone 5s

Abit grainy but still good I thought

That is pretty good, looks better than mine :)

I thought you might like this photo of the moon I took last year:

Saw sweet F A in Elgin.

Your photos are good Dave!

I was too busy guarding HM the Queen who was down on a visit to the dockyard in Plymouth.

Didn't have time to look up :d

Just noticed a semi-twilight for about 40 minutes.

pfft.... didnt even notice it was happening down here :p miserable cloud and miserable work got in the way :p

Cheers. It is a great camera and served me well on holiday in the USA last year and will see service in NYC in November :)

New Yoik ?

Can I come with you? I'll try my best to curl up in your suitcase! :P

Always wanted to go back to the US, can't afford it as of yet though with rtn flights being between £600 and £1400.
