An truly stunning experience after the disapointment of the rained off 1999 eclipse at my home of Cornwall, UK. Konica Minolta A2 with x3 telephoto for filtered shots and Casio QV 3000EX for landscapes. |

Not only the sun and moon are spectacular during an eclipse, the surroundings themselves change significantly. The picture show 21 pictures, about 2 minutes between each picture, 20 minutes before and after totality. The camera's settings (Canon Powershot G5) were set at 1/250 f/4.0, so during totality the picture was underexposed (completely black pictures, of course, in reality it doesn't get this dark). Still, it gives quite an impression of the 'daytime night'. |

For a few seconds after the second contact a part of the chromosphere was visible with finely detailed prominences. Trying to photograph the totality instead of only watching it was realy a hard job! Photos on Kodak Ultra ISO 400 film with: -Vixen ED81S f/7.7 used with a 2X teleconverter at f/15.4 -Minolta X-700 Sutter speeds: 1/4 sec (corona) and 1/1000, 1/500 (prominences) |

Three days after the total solar eclipse I returned to the roof of my hotel in Side, Turkey, and sketched the south-southwest view towards the Mediterranean where I and 21 other members of Stockholm Amateur Astronomers (STAR) had gaped at and taken pictures of the 3 minutes and 44 seconds of total eclipse. None of my photographs could capture the grand overall view of the sketch, not to mention the strange illumination of the landscape. But whereas my longest photographic exposure was 11 seconds, the sketch took many hours to make. The white dots are Mercury (nearest the sun)and Venus. |
