We usually stay up in the evening until the sun comes up. Luckily, there was a solar eclipse due 5:30AM manila time. We couldn’t resist and thought that it would be a great opportunity to capture the astronomic phenomenon.

So we went out of the house and went up the street toward a hill  to get a clear view.  Since almost anywhere we went, there’s always something blocking our view.

As the solar eclipse took place, it wasn’t obvious since the sun is flaring out, you could barely notice the moon coming in from the left side. I had to choke the light out of the camera to get the moon and sun to show.  This renders everything else under exposed.  I sure hope my camera’s sensor is fine.  Normally, I don’t point it directly at the sun but, I have too.
I find the photos ok, but not the way I want it to be.  In the end I’m happy that I got to spend some time with my wife and seen an eclipse with her.
