I'm sure you'll eventually see better, but still, 12/8/2026 Partial Solar Eclipse, Prospect Park, Reading, UK

First in sequence 17:09 Third in the sequence is 18:20, last 19:40

Canon R5 MkII + RF600 F11 +16 stop Thousand Oaks Filter, 1/500s, ISO and luminance all a bit of a mess with AUTO, -1 on camera, and luminance curve messing about

Great sequence!
Seems like you got to see more of the eclipse than us poor Germans (sun already set in the west halfway through...)

Last image resembles the amateurish one I took while the sun crossed behind a tree in front of my balcony.

I like how the last one is like “And this is a rabbit.”

That's brilliant. We were in Leominster and, sadly, there was quite a bit of cloud.

Too much to hope the clouds had rain in them I suppose - while I knew Ludlow well, I only visited Leominster a couple of times.

No rain in sight, sadly.
