Psychedelic eclipse x two!



Yesterday, alerted to the fact that we were experiencing a partial solar eclipse, an astronomical fact that somehow slipped under my radar :) I rushed home, tripod out, zoom lens on.. the results below I thought were a little eh! I wasn't going to bother posting this but after looking at the many shots posted online that were equally eh! I thought I might have a little fun with it.. a bit of double exposure here a touch of HDR there.. looks a little like the vision behind my eyes during a migraine :) Were you able to see any of the eclipse from your part of the world? Happy middle of the working week, take care and stay safe.....

  1. Actually, we're having a little trouble seeing either the sun or the moon right now because of all the rain we're getting. :-(

  2. Your two pictures are fabulous! the first one should be framed and on a wall, like a great psychedelic painting!

    Beautiful photos, Grace, especially that one with the migraine :)
    I hope you are feeling better...

  7. Grace, that top shot is a work of art! No eclipse happening up here that I know of. It was probably night time here when it was happening down there.

  8. I'm more of a "documentary" photographer, but I'm quite taken with your highly colored image. I agree with Malyss, get that one printed and hung. It is terrific.

  24. That is something a little different from you, Grace. You did a great job. Some of your observations do make me laugh. Hope you aren't having any more migraines! We missed out on the eclipse here.

    The solar eclipse is mysterious, and two shots are also impressive.
    Thanks to posts.
