Solar eclipse light photos

[firecat]

It's possible to view a solar eclipse by looking at light filtering through trees or fence slats (http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/how.html). My house has plenty of both, so I was able to take some interesting pictures of the crescent about 2 hours after the eclipse started.

That is so cool. I love the patterns of crescents!

I think you should paint the car like that.

Now there's an idea!

I love the dancing crescents. It's really my favorite part of eclipses since I first noticed it.

I looked for crescents (and rings!) but hadn't thought to have a nice flat surface with us. Lovely capture: i'll remember to prepare for next time.

Those fishscale patterns are extremely cool.

Those are terrific! We kinda saw the eclipse crescent through the fog and my living room curtain.
