annular ring of fire

photo 385
So there was an annular eclipse tonight. I tried and tried to get a good shot of it. First off, my zoom is only to 250 mm so that's not good enough. Then the clouds took over the sky for most of the evening. And then, every shot I got was blown no matter how much I changed settings and even with my ND filter. Then my son, who I told to get his welding helmet out to look at it, came over to see how it was going and I told him not so good. As soon as I looked through his helmet, I realized I should shoot through it. So this is what I got. I had to crop it still and the clouds came through but this was what I got and I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks so much for looking and commenting! It means so much to me!!! :o)
