I was mostly interested in watching the progress of the eclipse and hadn't set things up to enable me to photograph it, but I did quickly try to capture the sun at the eclipse maximum. Here it is...



I also tried to photograph the weird gloomy quality to the light. Many of the photos of the eclipse make it seem as though the sky goes black. Here in North Wales the eclipse was only partial (87% or thereabouts) so though the light dimmed, it only went twilightish, not pitch dark. But still strange for that time of day on a cloudless morning.
