Unfortunately, to get an OK shot of the sun and to avoid blinding myself
requires several extra pieces of glass in front of the lens, so there's
quite a lot of extraneous reflections and stuff.


Great photos Jonathan, you're lucky, most of the country is cloud covered.

Just had a quick glimpse of it here (central Lowlands). Cloud breaking for
about a minute in the right place at mid-eclipse (10am).
Tried taking a photo, but with no filters, F/9 and 1/2000th exposure it's
way too over exposed of course.
Must be quite a sight in Spain just now!
