Partial Eclipse. A Couple of pics.

Managed to get a couple of pics of the partial eclipse. Not great but not to bad using a somewhat scratched up welding filter.





using the wife's Nikon D90, she's a little annoyed with me.

You should start a thread to have us recommend cameras for you. Then you could get your own and not have to use the wife's all the time. 

Nice shots though. :)

I didn't know about the eclipse until late this afternoon -- too late to get my welding filters.  I caught a glimpse of it as the sun was setting; past the maximum occlusion, and still too bright for a good look.

I forgot about it, but I wouldn't have been able to see it anyway. It's raining Olympic-sized swimming pools out there.

My son got one at maximum through his mini-Celestron which shows those huge sunspots.  For me, it was partly cloudy and the sun was disappearing through the trees anyhow.

I had an excellent view of the rain clouds.

I could see the cluster of sun spots through my filter but couldn't get the camera to pick them up.

I had the same view.

The last good eclipse I captured was an annular eclipse at sunset over the Pacific in January of 1992 using an Olympus OM4 and film. I am not even sure how I did it, I started out shooting through filters and then switched to just the lens.
