out and about - 2015

 

20 March 2015 .............. The eclipse

 

Heading down to the maximum amount of eclipse, and a layer of cloud was building up and starting to obscure the sun.

However it was actually quite handy, because it meant that I could look at the eclipse with the naked eye, and it meant the intensity of light was withing the range that my camera could handle.

About a minute after the last picture in this sequence, the cloud was much thicker, and I never saw the sun again - so it was nigh on perfect timing really.

Just about the peak now -

A bit of thicker cloud obscured the sun for a few minutes, and when it re-appeared, it was past the peak, and heading back to normality.
