Partial Solar Eclipse - Perth 10/05/2013 (Stills processed into into a video sequence)

Created from Canon 40D still images in Microsoft Live Movie Maker

I took a different approach to creating a video for this eclipse. It is not the usual equal interval sequence due to the cloud disruptions. It's is a bit long at 5 minutes, because I like the music I put it to!

Setup at Reabold Hill for Solar Eclipse - 10/05/2013 whilst awaiting Partial Solar Eclipse 6:53AM

Sunrise was due 6:54AM.

It turned out that this walkway was quite unstable and along with a cool breeze made focusing and sharp images quite a challenge.
