Eclipse

[RedRider]

Here in Andalusia the eclipse was less complete than the UK.
If I hadn't known it was on this morning I might not have noticed anything particularly unusual but I did take a snap of my shadow looking more like ET the extra terrestrial than usual. Could this have been due to the eclipse?

Make the most of it. The next one's not until 2090

It's in the diary. I'm going to cycle to the top of a big hill to watch that one. Missed this mornings effort due to cloud cover.

Me too!

That's what I use as well
Not that I bothered dusting it off for today, it was wall to wall cloud

Can anybody else still see spots in front of their eyes?

I like that second one with the egret flying around.

 

[stephec]

Dont ask me. I just pointed and fired. What you see is what you get.

I've tried that excuse quite a few times, it's never got me out of trouble though.

I can't imagine why not.

This was taken on a G3. Stuck a ND8 filter on the front and kept adjusting the shutter speed until it felt about right.

The view from work...

Not exactly the eclipse but related to the alignment of sun and moon: it's a spring tide with over 7 metres between high and low tides. The Thames is shut and the barrier is up.

And the water level downstream was pretty high. The lass in the barrier café was concerned about the rising water. I gather it's her first spring tide at the barrier.

EDIT: I was chatting to the photographer who took this photo in the Independent.
It was obviously a successful morning's freelancing for him. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...michel-is-cut-off-from-mainland-10125010.html

[QUOTE 3603583, member: 9609"]expanded to show from 7am to 1pm, the black line is the moment of max eclipse,

where's @brand ? I know how much he loves a good graph[/QUOTE]
Wow, 13 degrees! Positively balmy up there!
