Sun viewed through eclipse glasses
Sun viewed through eclipse glasses on Flickr.
Of the various ways I looked at the solar eclipse, my favorite was a set of “eclipse glasses” made from exposed photographic film. Everything else felt like I was looking at a picture of the sun, rather than watching something here and how, except for this and the welding helmet. And the welding helmet turned everything green.
After looking at the sun for a few seconds through the glasses, I stuck one in front of the camera and took this shot.
Crane
Every once in a while you get a perfect shot from the car. I was stopped at a traffic signal next to an area of road construction, and looked up at this crane, backlit by the sun.
