29 Astronomy Eclipse, March, Moon partial, Sun Sun, Technics Wednesday, March 29th, 2006 by Davide Troise / italiano
This morning in Brasil, a large part of Africa, Turkey and Russia was been visible a total solar eclipse. When a total eclipse occurs, there are some zone on earth (like Rome, exactly) where the solar eclipse is partial. This picture was captured during this partial phase of the eclipse on the flat roof of the phisics’ building at the University ‘La Sapienza’ with some friends of mine.
To realize this picture I used a orange solar filter, a tripod and I set the ISO speed to 400, a time exposure of 1/80 seconds and f/4,9.
This experience has remembered to me, with a lot of wistfulness, the total eclipse of 11 August, 1999 I saw in Hungary.
