I've no special kit for #eclipse photography, so this series was on the Nikon with 300mm zoom, shot through a "visually opaque" Infra red filter, the sun so bright it just gets through. Then a coupe more conventional shots - nice low sunlight shortly after the UK max -

One of the few classics I've not widely used. - We had Leica bodies for the Reprovit copy camera at work, had to cut the leaders specially. On the subject of Rangefinders, - here's one I found earlier. (The film I put through it was years out of date, hence the high fog level)

Nice. Never saw Alan or Lindisfarne in Birmingham, but was fun to see the venue "Digbeth Civic Hall - Birmingham" on the poster. It's now the "O2 Institute" - and I was there last Monday for Henry Moodie. Fine venue, seen a few bands there. Pics and vid from last week youtu.be/iRM1TqF75To
