Oh how disappointing!
As soon as I heard about the partial eclipse
I started researching and ordered a black polymer filter for my camera and
eclipse glasses for us all. We were very excited. M built a pinhole
projector & I was all geared up to photograph this amazing phenomenon. I
even rearranged my classes so I would be free.
However, on the day the sky was totally
overcast and remained so all morning. We couldn’t see anything at all. Instead,
the kids went to school and I watched the sight unfold on BBC Stargazing Live.
It did go dark and I had the presence of
mind to take pictures of that, but it was not at all the sequence I had hoped
to capture. I heard the birds reawaken as the moon moved away from the sun.
I was very sad, but we learned a lot
from the preparations. The BBC coverage with Dara O’Briain and Professor Brian
Cox was excellent.
We
will have to wait until 2016 for our next opportunity!

And yet your sequence of photos showing the darkening of the light captures the effect perfectly. Wish I had thought to do that ...
