I was on Kauai for work when I realized this partial solar eclipse was to happen. When the sun's diameter was obscured by one-half, about one-third surface area, the landscape took on a surrealistic tone. The clouds added some flavor during the moment. Exposures taken every 2 1/2 minutes using Nikon D70 w/ 28-105 Nikkor lens. Solar filter was welder's glass #12 placed in a makeshift lens carrier.

The clouds had just subsided, and the partial eclipsed sun was just setting. Photo details: Olympus Camedia 2040-Z digital camera. No enhancement.

I took this image with a simple 3x zoom digital camera. The filter is self-made (20 years old, fully exposed black&white film, maybe 'unsafe'). The sunset was incredible with a green and a blue flash.
