Once in a life time moment. This morning of January 15th, 2010 I set upon to shoot the solar eclipse. Here's a write up from wikipedia on the issue "... the solar eclipse of January 15, 2010 is an annular eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 0.9190. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun, causing the sun to look like an annulus (ring), blocking most of the Sun's light. An annular eclipse will appear as partial eclipse over a region thousands of miles wide... the eclipse starts at the Central African Republic, traverses Cameroon, Congo and Uganda, passes through Nairobi, Kenya, and enters the Indian Ocean and reaches greatest eclipse."
Now you understand my excitement? Here below are my shots... ENJOY!
Dude these are amazing shots, I love the colour and variety.
ReplyDeleteWhat gear did you use to take the shots?
Thanks! I used a Canon "Rebel" XSi... not so top range but does some amazing work!
