Partial Eclipse from South Devon

[John Baker]

Ok so it is not as impressive as the full thing, but any eclipse is always good to see. It was also nice to see the sunspot activity and the clouds moving across the face of the sun.

Images shot from the Golf Course above Teignmouth on Little Haldon looking across the vale of Haytor looking towards Dartmoor. The final couple of shots show the sun dropping down below one of the rock outcrops on the horizon.

 

A single shot for a bit more details...  Images shot on 1Dx fitted with 100 - 400 II and a home made  front cap which includes a sheet of Baader Astro Solar Film

Great shots. The cloud adds to the atmosphere. Very nice.

 I thought that, the last partial back in 2015 I had lots of cloud cover and it made for a very different set of images.

Wonderful images, much how I viewed it.  (the cloud is the icing on the cake).

Now makes me wish I had set up a camera for solar imaging.

It was a simple DSLR and a bit of solar film - but I know exactly what you mean

Nice photos John - I chased around South Wales to obtain a clear spell but failed by just 8 minutes for the start.

Nice work, John. I agree with the consensus that the clouds add ambience. The sunspots add a nice touch, too. So happy you could arrange that, lol 

Beautiful sequence of photos, and the single shot was nothing short of stunning (what composition: moon to the lower left, cloud to the upper right with sunspots sprinkled across the center). Bravo!

I was really after the ISS going across the face, or a jet aircraft would have been nice - but I was just chuffed to see it and  thank you for the kind comments
