Partial Solar Eclipse, North Manchester 9.28am
After a cloudy start to the morning, with no sun visible, the clouds parted briefly at about twenty past nine, just in time to witness the moon's path crossing the sun. This photo was taken at approx 9.28am when the eclipse was at its maximum (about 90%). Compare it with
Image], taken about 30 minutes later.
Both were taken through a heavy neutral density filter to reduce the amount (but not alter the colour) of the light from the sun which would otherwise have "burnt out" the photo.

Partial Solar Eclipse, North Manchester 9.49am
After a cloudy start to the morning, with no sun visible, the clouds parted briefly at about twenty past nine, just in time to witness the moon's path crossing the sun. This photo was taken at approx 9.49am, about half an hour after the eclipse had been at its maximum (about 90%). Compare it with
Image], taken about 30 minutes earlier.
Both were taken through a heavy neutral density filter to reduce the amount (but not alter the colour) of the light from the sun which would otherwise have "burnt out" the photo. Even using the camera's fastest shutter speed (1/4000 sec) and the smallest lens aperture (f22), the sun still appears white in the photo.
