The Solar Eclipse captured from Painswick Beacon, UK on the 12 August 2026, using the Seestar S30 Pro.
Unfortunately, I was in a rush to set it up and must've set it up to object tracking instead of tracking the actual sun. When the clouds filled the frame I had to find the sun again and recenter the composition. But managed to capture a glimpse of the eclipse.

At the worst possible time of day I decided to head up the hill to go and take landscapes. Normally I wouldn't dare to go out at noon on a clear summer's day, but the landscape in Infrared just hits different.

In my latest video, I check out whether there are some better alternatives to Adobe's perpetual subscription model for editing my photos.

DxO's Photolab 9 is a raw converter, similar to Adobe Lightroom/Camera Raw, and allows you so much freedom and choice when it comes to editing your photos your way. Aside from that, there are no subscription costs. You pay once and own it forever!

Check out the review in my video below, and be sure to use my discount code PHOTO15 at checkout for 15% off Photolab 9. Download DxO Photolab 9 here - https://shop.dxo.com/en/dxo-photolab-9-elite.html
