Queensland experienced a solar eclipse on Wednesday morning. The total eclipse was only visible in the far north of the state, but down in Brisbane we got to see around 80% cover. You couldn't easily spot it by squinting at the sun but the light was strangely diffuse and lacked some of it's usual bitey heat.
I tried to get some pictures of it, but sadly my photographic skills weren't up to scratch and all I ended up with was a lot of lens flare and a touch of arc eye. I did manage to get some strangely impressive shots though
In this one you can see the shape of the partial eclipse somehow reflected upside down in the lens flare
The best picture I've seen comes from friend and regular commenter Pete, who noticed this dappled effect on his back patio
Sometimes you need to look away from the light to see what's really going on....
