I was going to photograph the Eclipse but there is not much to see, because of the fecking Irish weather

Its always the same here, 200 rain days in a year. Complete overcast now. Meh !
-
not much better here :-[
-
Here's my result. LOL
-
Here in Poland it's only 73% and weather is... too good :'( It's full sunny day, no clouds at all! All I get (absolutely with using safety as filter ND big stopper) is white half sun on black background...
At this time I appreciate my luck in 2011 when got this: link (https://500px.com/photo/83433653/partial-solar-eclipse-and-clouds-morning-sky-by-arletta-cwalina?utm_campaign=nativeshare&utm_content=web&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=500px)
In last days it's my bestseller on SS :P

You're lucky. In Gdansk it is almost like in Ireland ;). Yep, a bit darker than on a usual cloudy day but that's all.

Show it (image), not only talking! :P Let's say, I don't believe you ;)
Ron, thank you ;)
-
Here, Ukraine, like in Poland, clear sky but at the time of the eclipse I was running and I have seen nothing.
Nice photo Ariene!
-
It was also very cloudy here in Varna, Bulgaria :(
I've prepared ND1000 filter for nothing.
-
I managed to get a little peek at the eclipse just before it ended
-
Ron, clean up the spots! :P
-
I know, ;D its a quick render of a snapshot. Not planning to do anything with it.
And Of course the weather clears up AFTER the eclipse is over !!!

Life! ;)
I don't even bother postprocessing mine shots from today. But it brought me some ideas for interesting session with using photos taken today :D
-
I managed to see it OK in Shropshire - England. Took some video's and timelapse. It went a strange bluey shadow colour although it was sunny. Reminded me of the eclipse in 1999 or whenever it was. I so want to see a 100% eclipse at some point.
Excuse the dust marks as this was a secondary camera just for fun.
-
Catalogue of errors for me this morning. Firstly I failed to scout a location properly and ended up in the woods with no real useful silhouette to shoot the eclipse against.
Then I set the ISO really high to shoot this image hand held with a long lens on the way:
(http://fotovoyager.com/images/beams.jpg)
And of course, forgot to reset it afterwards, making everything super noisy and more or less useless. Pah. My pathetic best effort:
(http://fotovoyager.com/images/eclipse.jpg)
If the only difference nowadays between amateur and professional photographers is that professional are supposed to get it right every time, then I well and truly failed that test this morning.
-
Voyager, all photogs I know forget to change ISO (me too). They (we) change everything in camera, but not ISO :P It doesn't matter if you are young amatour or 70+ y.o. experienced pro... ;)
Btw, very nice images you did, love it! (I'm not sure if this is good form to say: do image or only take photo?).

Nice. What did you use to shoot that?

Still, very nice.

Thanks ;) The funniest thing is... that I didn't use anything! It was young photographer luck (I often miss it these days), that's it! I remember weather was not good, clouds are growing very fast when the Moment was closer... I had a lot of luck then, clouds gave me natural soft diffuser, right in the perfect moment, I catched focus on sun without watching through the viewer to not hurt my eyes, and praying to not damage camera with so much light straight into it ;) So no filters and 100% of luck...

A little luck NEVER hurts. ;)

Ireland is probably the only country you could look straight at it - where I was, just enough cloud to take away the brightness but still see the whole thing.
-
Total cloud cover in the shires - although I did notice it got colder and darker and the birds stopped singing....
.....I might have imagined that last bit or seen it in a movie though.

Great shot, Beppo! Very clear moon, I think I can see some craters on it, but will SS accept it?
-
What happened to Beppe Grillo? He's so grey today... :o ??? ;)

I got it. Stege, Denmark: Closing in on the max:
