Total Solar Eclipse Dec
4th 2002
|

 |
It is often said that photos do
not do justice to a Total Solar Eclipse, and we have to agree
after seeing this eclipse ( our first eclipse ). But here they
are anyway, we didnt waste too much of the precious 29 secs of
totality taking these. Note the shadow
cone is present in pic, an awesome sight in real life!! -

Second diamond ring. All these
shots were taken near the centreline on the Stuart Highway, South
Australia. These first two photos were taken with a 105mm lens
with fuji 800 speed film. Most of these shots have been cropped
to some degree, but have not been altered in any other way.

Totality, there are not sufficient
words in the english language to describe a total eclipse. You
are left elated and grinning and wanting more, lets just say.
We now know what all the fuss is about, but it was even better
than you expect ( and we expected a lot ).
