Eclipse! Yeah!! Wow!

Digital cameras are great, aren't they? You can take some amazing photos of ravers off their tits gurning and bumming the bassbins but when it comes to a natural phenomenon that is 1400 million kilometres in diametre and can be seen perfectly with the natural eye, the results are shite.

The upper picture I took by holding my eclipse glasses over the lens, and the second one was without anything. Useless.

I did record a MOV file of some of the experience, but it's 40 megabytes in size so only download it if you have seriously good bandwidth (and do right-click and save-as to your hard disk, rather than attempt to watch it online). I started recording half-way into totality, and it shows the sky getting suddenly brighter and loads of people whooping in the distance, and Emer enjoying every minute, but it won't win any Oscars....
