Partial Solar Eclipse

Here are some photographs from today’s partial solar eclipse. We weren’t able to drive up to Flagstaff to see the annular eclipse, so we settled for what we could see in our front yard. Not bad. This is the closest I’ve seen to totality.

The eclipse does make some interesting shadows, so below I have photos of shadows of the eclipsed sun shining through our sage bush, casting shadows on the wall, and of the sun’s image through my quick and dirty pinhole viewer, which I also projected onto the same wall.

I tried to get photos directly but it was too bright and saturated the CCD in the camera. I have a sun filter somewhere, but did not have enough time to find it before sunset. We’ll have to settle for other peoples’ direct photos of the eclipse.
