Partial eclipse

Some very odd optical effects I though were quite nice. Despite all the warnings, my lens didn't melt and my camera didn't explode.

I'm glad your camera didn't explode. The sun flair looks fantastic, and at least captured the eclipse.

Nice shot

Great one. I used the live view on my camera, so was seeing it on the screen at the back, alwyas play safe me...

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

I did exactly the same. What great minds we must have. :)

@karlow75 It's not an easy thing to capture without a lot of expensive filters is it. :)

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@freyjad Thank you most kindly Sheelagh. :)

Very magical.
Are you near Cambourne Billy?
My friend Andrea MILES has moved there to be a slimming world consultant

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@grace55 We live in St. Austell and have our shop in Mevagissey. So we are about 25 miles from Cambourne.

Us Pirates of St. Piran do a song called Cambourne Hill. Tell your friend to watch out for us. We do the odd gig down Cambourne way.

@swillinbillyflynn Camborne (there is no U in it) Hill? I never did quite get why the horses stood still and the wheels went round. Perhaps I'm over thinking it a touch :-)

Brilliant flare. Glad you've not died in some camera explosion.

[Joyce]

But did you fry your brain? It didn't happen here so my enthusiasm with my camera was quite wasted. Love this shot

[Craig]

@swillinbillyflynn
Thanks Billy.
I have not been to the west country for ages but loved it when my husband Paul and me came to Bideford and Clovelley.
Magical places.
Honeymoon.
