Total eclipse photos page 1

View of the almost eclipsed sun.  There is a small piece of lens flare aobve and to the left of the sun which shows how eclipsed the sun was at this stage.

Slightly more eclipsed.

Almost!

Totality!!  It was unbelievable how large the sun looked during the eclipse.  To me it looked like about 3 times the size of the full moon (when the full moon is just coming up over the horizon).  These shots were taken with a 35mm SLR (Ricoh KR10M) with a 60-300mm zoom lens set at 200mm.  The  camera was set on a tripod.  It was in manual mode with a F8 aperture and 1/30 second shutter speed.
