Today's Solar Partial Eclipse

The clouds parted and I managed to take these shots through a spare pair of solar eclipse glasses as every other method or setting I tried just resulted in a whiteout of the image.

Thar’s what all my photos looked like until the brains of the outfit, aka my Lovely Cousin, said, “Why not put the eclipse glasses over the camera lens?”

I had to give up my arc welder when my pacemaker was fitted, and I sold the visor that went with it. I had used that previously for the last partial eclipse but then my Lovely remembered we had bought a pack of glasses for a total eclipse in the USA but never got to go because of ill health.
They are only cheap cardboard with plastic lenses, a bit like 3D glasses that get handed out at cinemas, but they were worth every penny.

That’s pretty good. It’s just a shame about the cloud.

Without the cloud it would be a big white blob. I used the cloud as a filter
