She who must be obeyed calls me to tell me that there is a partial solar eclipse this afternoon and that under no circumstances must I try and look into the sun.
Looking into the afternoon sun is not something I normally do, but once she had called me to tell me there was an eclipse, and that I shouldn’t look at it; well, I just had to look at it.
With the camera set at the fastest speed and minimum light, and darkening filter on the front, I managed to get a snap of the very partial, and rapidly diminishing, eclipse.
As the sun started to sink and became more amenable to photography, and the prospect of a sunset with assorted fishing boats became feasible, the eclipse had all but gone. Most frustrating. Apparently I have to go to India in July to witness a full eclipse.
