The 91% partial solar eclipse in London, 12 August 2026 😎🙏🌙😍😱😅

For once London had absolutely pristine skies on eclipse day. All that planning, for some of that did plan at least paid off and we were rewardly handsomely!

The only thing I could have personally wish for was just a bit cloud the add a bit drama and impact to the bare looking close up shots. It was nice to see some some spot and I really liked how much detail came out of the last few shots as we got close to sunset and the intensity of sun light was reduced favourably to allow more to be seen of the sun’s surface and a nice collection of those aforementioned sun spots.

The atmosphere at the vantage here in Bermondsey loo towards Thr Shard, Tower Bridge and City of London financial district building cluster was busy yet well spirited. Apart from one photographer who arrived late and thought that it was his right to use the only gap remaining along the wall right in front of me and clearly obstructing my camera’s view when he was stood up - thankfully this Neanderthal moved on soon enough. There was a reason that that gap had been left there, otherwise yes it could have been filled easily by more observers!

It was amazing to feel the sudden drop in temperature and see the ambient light change to a kind of dusk like feel but yet still with the sun visible high up in the sky albeit slightly dimmed. That was my first such personal experience with those phenomena. I have yet to experience a total eclipse, maybe next year, but happy and content with how this one went. It was a memorable day for sure. ☀️😊

Giving yourself opportunities to mess up and make mistakes, or experiencing things as close as they would be on the day of the live performance in the form of a dress rehearsal to use a theatrical analogy! That's exactly what I did last night!

Practising for Wednesday's partial solar eclipse in London on location at my planned view point and discovering workflow refinements through mistakes when I made them as I started shooting close ups of the sun with my recently acquired solar filter attached to the front of my camera's lens. Shooting at the exact same time of time of day that I would be shooting on Wednesday to get a representative idea of lighting, settings and any unexpected obstructions along the sun's path during the partially eclipsed phases.

I didn't realise that this first shot of the sun's alignment with The Shard was out of focus until well after the sun had moved on afterwards. I also experimented with deeper bracketing afterwards when the sun was interacting with the cranes much later on, as demonstrated by the other shots which enabled much more shadow detail recovery in post to bring out more of the immediate surrounding clouds and environment within the frame which I didn't realise was possible with a solar filter attached. As a comparison I included a couple of the single exposure images from each of the bracketed set of the same shot.

What are your plans for Wednesday?

A few more fox shots! 🦊🍗📸😍

Same location as Sunday night except these were from the following on Monday night.

I was a bit further down the and looking up the hill this time instead of looking down hill. I thought I'd try this position out as it means the foxes receive the back lighting from the sun, instead of from my usual position which would have meant shooting directly into the sun at sunset which can be challenging when the sky isn't cloudy enough!

From this new position I was much closer to the run way corridor that the foxes like to use to the cross the road, but I was also somewhat more exposed to them in terms of direct line of sight. This might well have been the reason why they were not hanging about or staying about in the middle of the road which they did a lot the on the previous night. Instead, on this occasion they were just scurrying back and forth multiple times across the road to their food source at one of the houses and back again to return retrieved food items to their den with for sharing or storing for later.

I've been coming to this particular residential street to shoot sunset alignments and so far just the one moon alignment every now and again (only whenever there's an alignment happening that I'm interesting in capturing) for a few months now. Every time I come to this exact at sunset spot which is the ideal placement for my tripod to get the fullest available uninterrupted panorama of the London city skyline from west (London Eye) to east (Canary Wharf), I see foxes crossing the road just out in front of me. They intermittently cross back and forth, often trotting but just occasionally laying down or playing in the middle of the road when there is no passing traffic. I hadn't really observed and mentally noted their movements and behaviour that closely until a couple of days ago when I decided that I'd like to photograph them. My attention is always closely trained on the horizon and city skyline way above this hilly street, always pretty much ignoring what's going on below at street level.

So with my attention and focus off of the skyline for a change last night, here's my first few captures. They come to feed just before sunset but disappear back to their den or elsewhere just before the sun contacts the horizon, not coming back until the next evening. I knew the timing of when they would be around and they don't really deviate from this crossing point corridor. I think they are carrying the provided food portions back to their den which is reached via an alley way in-between 2 houses that I could see them disappearing off to and coming back through, hence the intermittent back and forth across the same corridor path across of road.

Friday evening's sunset and alignment in London city with 1 Canada Square and the main Canary Wharf building cluster. 🌞😎

There was a 3 day window for this particular alignment, with the sun being centred at different heights above the pyramid apex roof of 1 Canada Square. This particular day was the lowest in height. The day before had heavy cloud obstructing the sun at sunset, but I had already gotten that particular height alignment back in May this year so wasn't too bothered. And I wasn't too bothered about the first of the 3 day window but had it in reserve just in case the following 2 days were no go cloudy scenarios. So this alignment with sun just edge lighting the pyramid on top of 1 Canada Square is my favourite.

It was also from my previous observations photographing this particular alignment back in May that I was able to precisely calculate when it would happen again once the sun's path started to back track and retrace upon itself after the summer solstice. Therefore I was also aware of what the compositions would look like on different days during the opportunity window. 😇

If I were to decide to photograph this particular alignment again next year, I'd just want a small amount of high altitude cloud cover, just enough to filter and tame the sun's intensity but still have the round shape of the solar disc clearly delineated so that lens flaring and ghosting effects are significantly reduced resulting in a cleaner recovery of the surrounding buildings and landscape details. :)

A mini timelapse of Wednesday night's moonrise from London's Primrose Hill.

See the wonderful colour transitions of the moon as it rises up from the horizon and then in the second part of the video seeing it line up with the spire of The Shard.

Last night's full moon rise from Primrose Hill in north London. 🌝

As always, we got the usual questions from curious passers by who wondered what we were all trying to photograph. No one ever seems to correlate the hoards of photographers turning up with their cameras, big lenses and tripods at the time of the full moon most months throughout the year trained towards the city skyline! 🤔😄

We had 2 alignment targets planned for last night. One which didn't happen due to the usual lack of suitable visibility on the horizon and whilst the other was a success. When the moon did finally start to become visible though, the colours and atmospheric compression effects were absolutely stunning, so my personal favourite shot of the night isn't actually the alignment shots but the ethereal orange red glow of the photo that in the top right position of the photo grid. 😎

Oh and in the second to last photo, can you spot the moon? It's extremely faint but it is there. That's when it had just started to show in the gap right in-between the dome of St Paul's Cathedral and the crane.

Feel free to share your full pics in the comments below, would love to see them. 🙏

The Shard London

Sometimes when you witness something like a sunset which ends with the most vivid or dreamy soft colours on the horizon, those feelings that it creates inside of you that are beyond words, you just somehow want to share that with the rest of the world. I'm sure you know what I mean? This is why I do what I do! Even if I can only manage to convey just an essence of what it was like inside of here and pass it on like a precious gift to the next, I'll have played my part well! :)

Tuesday evening's sunset in London with the sun crossing through Tower Bridge and behind St Paul's Cathedral.

There was also an unusual series of special engineering test liftings of the bridge that evening that one of the other photographers in our group was aware of happening, one of which was scheduled for just 10 minutes after sunset so we stuck around to witness that too.

All filmed with just a film, but you can probably tell that. ;)
