I'm being followed by a Moon Shadow

Sorry for the poor quality,taken off the video camera,fascinating stuff though

 

Its too cloudy now here you cant see anything

 

I won't see anymore now.....it's too cloudy here too. It's still very dark and gloomy.

 

9:42am. Just past maximum here. My tomato and pepper seedlings have folded up their leaves for the night.

 

well, i thought it was going to get dark, but the light just faded a bit and a bit colder
a little bit disappointed

 

totally agree Jiffy it was just the same lighting as if a storm was coming in thats all

i manage to get a glimpse of it for a split second when the clouds parted. but my head is killing me and my eyes ache which im slightly annoyed about as i had solar glasses

 

What an experience! I went to the beach for a walk and when I set off the sun was on my back and it was lovely and warm, 1 hour later the temp seriously dropped, the birds went quiet and I got fairly good glimpses between the clouds. This was taken on my phone as I didn't want to damage my good camera

 

@yvonne interesting the birds went quiet all the birds round here went louder and was more like the bird song you hear early in the morning

 

We got our Sun back

 

10:05 am. Much lighter now. Birds all singing again and temperature rising. Interesting to note that the temperature didn't start to rise again until about 20 minutes after maximum eclipse.

 

I thought it wasn't going to be visible but a put a camera and travel tripod in a bag and went for a walk and 2 minutes after leaving a small gap appeared in the clouds revealing the eclipse although before I could even get a point and shoot out my pocket it was behind clouds again so I thought that's it I've missed it.

Then 5 minutes later it cleared enough to watch the whole event!






Taken using an ND8 filter to darken it down.

 

Very very pretty you could sell those as prints

 

Great pictures Scrungee.

 

I thought it was a big non-event, after all the hype.Went a bit gloomy like a normal overcast day.
