Gerhana Matahari - Solar eclipse at Raub, Malaysia


Hot out of my CF card. Partial Solar Eclipsed just occurred over Malaysia started at 4.30pm and finally contact around 6.55pm today. I just back from work and hurriedly took this pic at 6.23pm.
I used an X-Ray film and my son to pull the dark part of the film over the front end of 400mm telephoto lenses. This partially hidden sun look like a crescent moon.
Very cloudy day and the sun was hidden most of the eclipsed time.
