Since no other photos of it have been posted here yet … Partial Solar Eclipse, 11am, Reading, UK
Canon R5 Mk II + RF600mm F11 + Thousand Oaks Optical Solar Filter (alas filter missing any details of its “strength”) all on a Manfrotto 405 tripod.
Bottom left is the original (ISO500, 1/125s, F11) , top left is playing around with the histogram tool to emphasise brightness changes, top right a slightly later photo again with histogram modification.
Yeah I was already a bit scared to damage something. The mirror was quite effective in rerouting all that light and heat through the viewfinder though, so it’s probably fine (as long as you don’t put your eye behind the viewfinder). But just to be sure I only aimed it at the sun when shooting the image.
If a total solar eclipse were to happen I should probably invest in specific tools to capture it. For now I guess I will just refrain from flying too close to the sun
