Solar Eclipse βοΈ
A rather hastily assembled setup to try catch the Solar Eclipse this evening. A Gobe ND1000 filter, with a Gobe variable NDX filter, stacked on top of a UV filter, just about dimmed the sun enough to photography with my Canon EOS 5D MK IV, Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM & Canon EF 1.4x III Extender combination.
I was just 3 years old the last time we had an eclipse this full, on the beach in Jersey of the Channel Islands. That time, it was almost fully dark and I remember people with glow sticks running up the beach as an eerie chill descended through the air. It wasn't much like that this time, however it was a chance to capture some history regardless.
