East Anglia - full cloud, with tendancy to drizzle.

cant say that I noticed a difference here.

Managed a projection onto my hand through binoculars. If I had left it a couple of minutes I might have had a permanent image on my hand.

But then a little hole appeared in just the right place


I'm happy.

And so you should be with that one. Just goes to show the clouds can be a help sometimes.

 

[Jonzjob]

I got this one



We don't egt as much of the cover as you Norvenerz up there. Sun's too bright. Taken through me welding mask..

This Old hammer is very happy indeed.

Possibly the coolest 700th post ever ???

 

[Jonzjob]

Or the hottest, being as it's the sun, init =D> =D>

Totally cloudy down 'ere now, domage :?

Nice crisp one you got through the welding glass, John. I tried a number 10 glass but it let too much light through. I have some Baader solar filters I made for my bins so I stuck one of those over the camera lens. My camera is an 8 year old point and shoot so I was more than happy with my result.

 

[Jonzjob]

Well, give us a look then :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Ta for the comment on my photo!! I was a bit surprised that it was so clear with the state of the welding glass

I spotted this strange affect caused by the sun shining through branches.

Only had a wide angle on the camera so no close ups of the sun.

Low cloud - no sign of the sun - just got darker.

We had a spectular loss of light in Belfast - see BBC News feed - but what they didn't report was the almost instant drop in temperature. Blimey, must have been into double figures. That old star up there sure sends a lot of radiant energy!

Saw nothing but clag here in Exeter, just got a bit darker for a while. Just for the hell of it I stared directly where the sun should have been.....just because everybody was saying you shouldn't :evil:

Quite a lot of heat too :?

Do you mean that it dropped to double figures :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I have to admit that even although that was about all we got it was quite spectacular..

Norn Iron in double figures in March? Now that would be a novelty! :mrgreen:
