The solar eclipse


It's not a full one here in HKG, but generally people can see it when there's no cloud between time: 0815 - somewhere around 1000..

The first photo was taken without any filter, with a mobile phone..
-> see nothingThe 2nd photo, showed the sun thru a photo film (one of the recommended way to see it), ok with naked eye, but didn't show up in the mobile photo.... ('cos of the exposure..)

This 3rd photo, finally showed the shadow of the 'eaten' sun. It's captured by pinching a piece of paper and projected the image on a cardboard.

I thought that was the hole I pinched at first. But a random pinched hole couldn't look like a pac-man as such...

So, that's it! The method mentioned by the news did work!^^

Once in a lifetime view..?!

The funny thing was, colleagues of the whole departments (30+) lined up to my seats to look at this phenomenon (thru the photo film or special filter they have), simply because I have one of the sea-view seats!

Possibly earn some extra pocket money if I charged them 60 cents per 6 seconds..! haha ;p
