Title: Solar Eclipse

Solar eclipse collage 20th March 2015
Photos from an amazing day watching the solar eclipse. Slightly out of focus but still learning. Canon 650d with a 250mm lens and Baader Astro Solar filter. Finally found time to process...life got in the way :-)

Thank you JohnP . I saw the eclipse from South Wales. The sunrise photo was by pure chance on a stop on the way  :)

Thanks Doug. It is a steep learning curve but loving it :)

Thanks Carole and Kenny. With more experience and how to get the best out of my camera I am hoping to do some more imaging soon. Just need those clear skies :)
