27 oct 04 eclipse

This is as good a shot as I could get of the eclipse
Pitiful at best

The REALLY over-bright part is tha actual moon
The part that shows a modicum of detail is the eclipsed part

Either I don't know how to use my little Oly in this sort of situation
Or my Oly just hasn't got the resolution to do this type of shot
I suspect the former over the latter

But I also shot a few conventional film shots
It'll be a day or so before I get thos developed
that setup is here:

I think you've done pretty well with this Pete! Looking forward to the scans of the film!

I actually like this in black and white after seeing all the color ones. Looking forward to when you get your film developed to see how that turned out.

Hard to shoot... I'll have to prowl the PaD gallery to see if anyone got a great one. Here we had clouds, so I didn't get a chance to even try.

Nice shot, Pete!! I hope my eclipse come out as good as yours. I haven't got a chance to look at them yet.
