Thanks Ian, first I've seen today. I believe the skies were very clear here but I did not rush to get out.

Excellent stuff, Ian. It was completely clear here so no handy cloud filters.

The brightness hardly seemed to change here (about 75% occlusion) but there was a touch of breeze at the maximum. At the 'last' eclipse I was in the UK and it was clear until about 30 mins after and then clouded over so I was able to get similar shots to yours through the clouds (but on B&W film). We used a 600mm lens + a 3x converter to project a pretty large image on a white board.

Actually, your image has the look of an eye about it from the clouds. You didn't hear a deep, booming voice at the time did you by any chance?!

Excellent shot, Ian. I love the colors in this one.

I didn't have time to play around as we were on the way to a hospital appointment. Before we left home at about 8:50 the sunlight had begun to drop as if dusk was drawing in and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. You could see the eclipse clearly beginning to happen safely through a Kodak 10H (Dark Amber) safelight filter.
On the way to Worcester the clouds built up but parted slightly when I parked and grabbed a couple of shots, using minimum shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings. So luck

Very nice capture, Ian - the eclipse won't be visible in my area.

On this day we had grey sky and nothing else. Glad you were able to catch such a good shot. Very good.
