I was luckly enough to witness yesterday’s solar eclipse at work and brought my camera to help document it. The sun was approximately 85% covered at its peak here in Suncheon and it did dim things a little which was cool. The skies were slightly overcast which normally isn’t a good thing for eclipses but good for me as I was dumb and didn’t prepare looking devices, so the slightly overcast conditions assisted in my not going blind, which is greatly appreciated.
My camera’s been a bit dodgy lately as it got too much moisture over the past month with the viewfinder sometimes working, sometimes not. Yesterday, of course, it wasn’t working so I somewhat aimlessly pointed it at that slightly dimmed disc in the sky all the while trying not to look at said disc. Unsurprisingly, the photos didn’t come out as stellar as a professional like myself would hope! So, I decided to do something with the three passable pictures that I normally don’t do - except on my jagged teeth if I’m feeling self-conscious - I heavily photoshopped them to make them look somewhat decent. You see the whole time I was actually inadvertently taking photos of a bird’s nest in a tree, but thanks to modern technology it comes out looking somewhat like a solar eclipse! Enjoy~!
