I used Canon PowerShot A610 to shoot the Solar Eclipse--including a special present to the Beijing Olympic Games.

The clouds made it possible to photograph the partial eclipse without any filters. One of the photos is actually through my sunglasses.

Photo details: Canon EOS 400D, 1/4000 sec, f/22, 70 mm, 100 ISO

It was incredible to see the eclipse in the center of Novosibirsk, right behind the Lenin statue! There was a lot of people present, the two minutes seemed to flash by in a few seconds. This is my only photo which turned out ok! Taken with a manual Nikon FM2n, 24mm lens and Velvia 50 slide film.

It's so good that the beautiful diamond ring happened between clouds! The diffraction by the aperture leaves shines the diamond!
