Title: My take on the Eclipse..
Post by: JohnP on Oct 03, 2015, 10:41:28
OK - rather poor compared to others efforts but my excuse was I had to be up at 5am for a business trip to Germany :-( so couldn't do the whole thing. Anyway managed to get a few during in totality & then grabbed a quick shot when I got up at 5.. All taken with standard EOS & cheapo 55-250mm zoom lens on a tripod - various exposures. The best bit was I woke up Orla at 3.30am to have a look & she was really awe struck.. it was a special moment... :-) Knackered all day Monday but made it worthwhile.. John

Very nice John, I like the time stamp on each, gives it some perspective.

Very nice that John, excellent detail as well.  You must be very pleased with the way they came out.  Shame about the business trip but then they can't always be moved.  At least it stayed clear and Orla got to experience it too.
