Collection of Photos taken in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada at the Sydenham Lookout. The clouds cleared right at the start of the Eclipse, but returned just as totality approached. That led to some difficult challenges, but a different look as well. :)
Camera: All photos taken with Micro Four Thirds OM System Olympus OM-1 Mark 1
Lens: M.Zuiko 150-400MM f4.5 + Teleconverters - built-in 1.25 Teleconverter (500MM / 1000MM 35 MM Equivalent) and the MC-20 2x Teleconverter. Here is the math! 400mm + 1.25 TC = 500mm + 2x TC = 1000mm (2000mm 35mm Equivalent)
Before the clouds arrived - 2000mm 35mm equiv., OM-1 mk 1, OM150-400mm F4.5 TC + MC-20 | 1/1000 sec at f/11, ISO 800. Sunspots are clear in this shot.
Clouds have returned, but not as thick as earlier in the day.
Long exposure with fast moving clouds.
Getting closer...
Almost there....
Totality. Solar flares are clearly visible here as well.
Totality finished, light peaking out again. Solar flares are clearly visible here as well.
High contrast shot to highlight the solar flares.
Almost time to put the ND100000 filter back on. Cameras need solar filters just like we need eclipse glasses for our eyes.
Even with this sliver of light, near full brightness has returned.
Moon slowly reveals the sun again. Sunspots are visible in this part near the bottom.
