Weather forecast was really bad for this Partial Solar Eclipse, chances were pretty slim. But as you can see from the image - the first half of the eclipse was pretty good in terms of the clear sky! Also, there was no wind and it was really warm, awesome outing overall 😊 I am very glad I've scouted this spot ahead of time and happy that I've shared this adventure with three of my friends who also took days off to join me!

Sony A7III (ISO100) and Sony 24mm GM lens (closed down to f/8). Baader AstroSolar ND5 film was used for the eclipse phases (1/500s).

The foreground shot is a bracketed one (3EV), merged using enfuse and post-processed using RawTherapee. The eclipsed Sun sequence created using StarStaX. The composite image was created using Gimp.
