Partial solar eclipse from Melbourne

[sgazer]

hi, just managed to capture the partial eclipse this morning as I got into work, at about 8:10am it was at it's maximum. Unfortunately, couldn't get up to the north to see the total eclipse, but glad to have captured something. I just used a piece of solar film on the front of my 55-200mm Canon lens and 450d. I didn't have much time (meant to be working!), so focus might be a little soft, but here it is......
