nice pix seun

Thanks.  I was lucky to get one good picture (out of 46) despite poor preparation.

Here's another one which is badly distorted because the surface of the water in my basin was being pumelled by the wind.  


Bad, bad preparation.

great pics seun and well done. anybody with more pics?

Lagosians should step out rite now, there is a partial eclipse over Lagos

Eev so you rose to the challenge in double quick time and at least you had a camera charged and ready so at least those without and those far away (like moi) can see what you took and feel less disappointed they didnt see it to be honest through my black welders glass I was able to look straight at the sun but all I saw was like a fingernail shape I think your pix are better!!

It is Cloudy I cannot see anything, am in Ikeja, Lagos

Well done seun. Was it dark as in Night?
Hope to see the one in 1 August 2008

NEXT TIME, LOL![size=15pt][/size] Shine ya eye, The last Eclipse of the Sun was last seen in 1947, So Seun, given God's Goodspeed and Grace, 2006 - 1947 = 59 speculative years interval. You should be praying to double the average Nigerian life expectancy put presently at 77yrs old given whatever age u are in rite now. And by then you will not be admin on nairaland anymore but watching from the sidelines as Seun (Jr) takes Nairaland to the Next LEVEL!!!

Wait, there are more pictures.  The Eclipse is now at it's darkest point but the digital camera I borrowed is already out of battery power, so you'll have to manage the ones below:









kajad: right now it's dark like it is at 7pm, but it's 10:25am! You can take the pictures directly now! No water basin needed!

@keshin
Be patience, the eclipse is surely in those hazey clouds, but please dont look rite into it. Get a phone with a cam or something.

I have both stills and videos of it. I'm in lagos so sadly i only got the partial eclipse. I'll post stills soon.

Gr8 pix, Seun! keep it going.

Good morning every body from two nights in one day.

Yewande, O4Real: You're right, there probably won't be a next time. Well, with that last set of pictures, I can't say I didn't experience the solar eclipse. Isn't it funny how we're all obsessing over a solar eclipse?

Maxflame: please post your pictures and videos as soon as possible. Send them to me if you want some pre-processing done or if the videos are very large. I can upload them directly.

Witnessing it right now at PhC. Partial eclipse!!!!!!!

Jacob

NIce one seun !
i saw 2 it (in lagos ikoyi!!) nice work nature
my eyes are aching though i had shades on and also saw it thru a basin of water

Hey guys! I got it here in Lagos too, Partial I think!

mr. admin you are a darling, those pictures are truly awesome, are you single

My own contribution to the post. I was late to grab my camera but lucky to get this shot of the moon starting to reveal the sun. Other shots are too blurry to share.

i really do not know if anyone is as happy as i am, just seeing the eclipse. it's great fellows. thank God i witnessed it. it's ma first time

These are better than the pictures I got with my phone. Will use them in my blog. Thanks Seun.

i saw the partial eclipse from Festac, Lagos   . it was quite nice. i couldn't get any sunglasses so i used my eyes for a few minutes. i mean it was like 6pm in the evening or thereabout. DAMN!!!!!!

@Glessor, Seun
You guys have posted the most compelling pix of this eclipse on the forum. Good works guys.
@Gbade.x
Well it's simple, just add 60 propable years to your present age and try to dream viewing it again!!!lol

Nice pics guys. Thanks so much. Witnessed it here in PH partially.

This is cool. Thanks a lot Seun. We should be expecting more pictures right? keep it up people.

how cool was that eh?

Nice though, feels like nature or whatever is really in charge when you witness something like that, otherwise we forget the sun is there dont we! When its not we get all excited only cos we know it wont last, what if due to global warming it did in fact go out for us always, Mmmm  well just a thought, lets not spoil the moment  

Loving all the pics, Maxflame your toenail one is excellent!

Thank you my people
The pics are wonderful

One of my blurry shots,

please someone tell me, when will the next solar eclipse take place?
