Like, probably every other photographer in the country, I had a go at photographing the partial solar eclipse last Wednesday. Lacking a proper solar filter, I made do by stacking two 10-stop filters. From on-line research, I knew that this would not block IR to the same extent as visible light. So there was still a small chance that I could damage a camera. I chose to risk the old Canon 7D Mk II. At first I tried a clever composition, using the local solar farm as foreground. I couldn't get this to work, and settled on close-ups to capture as much of the sequence as I could; which, by the time I had focus and settings sorted out, was well under-way. However, I think the final collage gives a reasonable summation of the story.
