Partial Solar Eclipse, Gurgaon, India
I had a lot of classes to take today but thankfully the peak of the partial eclipse was during my lunch hour. So the trade off was whether to take pictures to have lunch. Though this was not a very difficult choice, I of course decided to take pictures. When I was done with the classes, I went and had a cup Noodle for a late lunch.
The picture above is the reflection of the partial eclipse (January 15, 2010) in my office window. I like a dumbo thought that I could capture the eclipse straight away. After 5 shots I realized that I need a better trick and fast as my class time was approaching fast. Then I remembered that I get all kind of reflections in my office window and hence the picture above. This was my first attempt to photograph an eclipse.
