Nice catch of the eclipse!

I am glad to see this entry, "the ultimate shadow" I was watching this from California. I had my camera in my hand and the cloud cover ruined the oppertunity. I hope everyone gives you a bonus point for difficulty. This is a rare occurance.

Very fortuitous timing, having a partial eclipse the same week as the shadows challenge :o) Just a pity the shot wasn't cropped in closer, as there's too much dead space for my liking.

I don't consider the blocking of light a shadow... a shadow is the result of light blocking, your subject here is the sun... not of a shadow.

Awesome. How did you get this to turn out? I tried to take some pictures of the partial eclipse, they didn't work.

nice! good job capturing the color and the foreground could cut the power lines but that is hard

I went out and set up to do this shot only to have heavy cloud cover move in. Thanks for this one. Love the reds.

I see that u are trying to use the eclipse as the shadow. IT is sooooooooooo far away, it's almost trivial in this image.

Bravo!

Mine didn't come out so well. Love for you to share the "how I did this" when the challenge is over.

Wow, eclipse, it's not just a gum! Like the pinks, really nice. The flare beneath the sun is distracting, but really......Very nice.

gorgeous

The Ultimate Shadow......Awesome....Where was this taken. Nice shot. Do you know how to keep the lens open and get a picture of all the stars at nice. I heard you must be in a dark dark place. The camera needs to be steady, I think this is a great shot, and you probably know what I mean, b/c I can not do it.

I can't wait to find out how you took it. I would have framed it the other way, though, for greater impact.
06/17/2002 08:25:00 PM
Nice color and perfect timing to get a good position. Another 4x magnification would be nice. Did you try cropping this down to see how it looked?
06/17/2002 06:00:00 PM
oh... you are sneaky! good for you!
06/17/2002 05:17:00 PM
Cool view? Wassamatta? couldn't you get close enuff to fill the whole frame with the sun? All you need is a 1,000,000,000mm zoom lens.. :) (just kidding) you have a very unique entry this week... great shot!
06/17/2002 04:50:00 PM
ok so this isn't the greatest photo in the world but it is a great shot of a shadow.
06/17/2002 02:25:00 PM
Loveyly color..wow! nice job.
06/17/2002 01:37:00 PM
is your definition of a shadow "one thing covering another thing" ?
06/17/2002 01:25:00 PM
Nice picture. I forgot about it until too late:(
06/17/2002 09:49:00 AM
I don't think this represents the challenge very well. I see the silohuette of the cloud on the sun. I would have scored this higher had the silouette been more interesting.
06/17/2002 01:33:00 AM
Nice job
06/17/2002 12:25:00 AM
Nice capture of the eclipse.
