Eclipse

Brighton Palace Pier

A collage of images I shot from the Brighton Palace Pier, the evening of August 12th. We got 91% of a total solar eclipse. The images were shot through an ND filter, mostly at 1/1000th second at f/7. There was a festive atmosphere on the pier with families and children and the sharing of eclipse sunglasses.

My attempt to photograph the lunar eclipse a couple of weeks ago was thwarted by a few factors: I accidentally left my long lens at home; I didn’t use a cable or remote release and the moon spent most of the time hidden behind thick cloud. All the same I got a couple of halfway attractive night images.
