The horizon was cloudy when the Sun rose but thankfully, after 15 minutes or so, gaps started to appear in the cloud cover. This is my favourite shot of the eclipse, 'Bad Sun Rising' taken with a Canon 300D through a 300mm lens, F/20 1/3200 sec exposure at ISO 100. It was well worth the wait :) |

#1 | These pics were taken on a beach in Simons Town (near Cape Town) in South Africa in the shade of a palm tree – you can see the image of the eclipsed Sun nicely in the dappled pattern. This beach is only a few metres from my office. |

The sun rised behind many clouds but after few minutes I was able to aim the sun and project it inside my box. |
