Solar Eclipse, March 20th 2015 - South Lighthouse, Fair Isle, Shetland.

The Sun & the Moon.
It was twilight for a few minutes today, I thought the Lighthouse darkness censers could turn on? maybe lighting up the tower at one point? almost... I have never photographed an Eclipse before, so I really didn't know what I was doing... I turned the camera to the lowest ISO and the fastest shutter speed.. By the time I figured it out the clouds came rolling back in. I got a few interesting pictures and the video worked well but I didn't try it until late in the Eclipse cycle. enjoy!


            

Watch the video!




I photographed from the rocks and beach below the South Lighthouse near my artist studio.





Heaven's Above!

I though this was cool that the Sun was still too bright even mostly blocked by the Moon, but the Eclipse shape refracted else where in the photographs.


Again here I photographed the refracted Eclipse shape in the silhouette of the Lighthouse tower.

Happy Equinox and Spring is Finally Here!
Hooray!

    1. Thank you Anita, I had to wait for breaks in the clouds myself, and the clouds worked a bit like filters. I'm happy to have seen some of it... after being totally clouded out on the awesome Aurora forecast a few days ago. Cheers Tommy
