"post anything", it says... 1999 or 2ooo (?), eclipse of the sun in southern Germany. Eager to take photos, I had followed the indications in the magazines : beware of overexposition ! Cams ready, silver filters, punched holes and such - all we got, was clouds, rain, and nearly black night. So we went inside, have a drink. Eclipse of eclipse story. Then I saw a pale light in the clouds. None of us had thought to bring a tripod ! '50ies Leica scotched to a balustrade, Hector 13.5 cm, scotched to the tube of 8 cm tele mounted to the reflex adaptor which gives, wide open, about f 1:30 or such, iso 50, exp about 20 secs. Among all the negs, one showed a shade, so I put it on my new 3oo dpi scanner & carton mask & back light, and pushed around the level cursors, until "something" showed up : here it is. I'm ashamed of the total lack of professionalism, nevertheless am happy to have "my" eclipse photo ;-)
