Partial Solar Eclipse Photos

by Nhil on July 22, 2009

Have you taken some Partial Solar Eclipse Photos today?

I wasn’t able to. I already posted the reason on the Total Solar Eclipse post on my other blog. Anyway, some people told me that this event should not be called as such because what was seen was not really Total Eclipse but a Partial Eclipse, thus my idea for the title of this post today. :)

Anyway, I have taken some interesting photos of this event courtesy of Hufftington post’s about this event.

Take a look at the first photo. That showed kids using a certain strip to look at the eclipse. I remembered some news snippets yesterday as they gave some reminders for people not to look directly on the image as it can cause blindness.

I have a different feeling though on the next picture. This was taken in Mundul Kiri province, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The bull looks naive of what was happening as the eclipse looked good as a backdrop in the picture though.

Now I remember some old folks who would relay some stories about eclipse. Just like in our province in Bicol. Some oldies there associate solar eclipse events to some not so good events like little harvest or certain calamities. Anyway, I don’t want to counter what they think but I don’t personally believe in those stories.

I also liked the last picture. That one looks like a frame in a movie where the next scene will be something scary like vampires looking for their next victim or zombies walking around. Well, I’d rather not talk about these things anymore, that’s so much of my imagination. :)

Anyway, enjoy looking at these photos as I do love to see them here. How about you? Have you had some photos of the recent Solar Eclipse? How about some photos of the recent ones? Let me know so I can check your posts about it okay? :)
