Solar Eclipse, no moon

The day for the solar eclipse, Baltic Sea, Sweden 2015-03-20, max eclipse at 11.00 am. Using my pin hole camera (f: 250); didn’t expect that it would capture the moon before the sun, but hopefully the light from the sun sufficiently weak for a 4 minutes exposure to get something of the landscape and the sun with the interference phenomenon that I earlier have experienced with this camera directed at the sun. That at least worked! OK, some colour correction in Photoshop in order to have an idea of how to tone a final print: the idéa being using thiourea and gold toner. I think this will approxcimate the finel print, since I have done something like this before. If against the upload rules I will of course directly delite it!

Approximating toning is allowed, I believe. You inspire me to get more adventurous with my pinhole cameras. This is dynamite.
 
Many thanks for your comments wildbill and sly -hope you are right sly about approximating toning :smile: Bertil
 
Very evocative - I couldn't see a damn thing in northern France, wish I'd been in Sweden with you! I'm actually somewhat surprised the image isn't brighter, as 4 minutes strikes me as a long time even at f/250.
 
Many thanks for your comments! Trask: brighter, OK, but then the sun would be too bright! Bertil
