  • Partial Solar Eclipse 2020

    I have never photographed a solar eclipse for so when the December 2020 eclipse happened I was thoroughly unprepared. Despite this, I managed to get some sensible picture. Not crisp and clear cut, but the eclipse is visible. Note that these pictures were taken as and when the sun popped out from behind clouds. The sun had set before total which was a disappointment though not unexpected.

  • Lunar Eclipse 21 January 2019

    There was a total lunar eclipse in in January this year but being in Cape Town we would only see the start before it slipped below the horizon.
    I was not convinced it would be worth my while but in the end it turned out to be quite a good call to get up at 4:30 and head up to Signal Hill.
