Using B&W film as eclipse filter

Disappointing.

All the debbie downers here were going on for months how it was gonna be snowing and cloudy and ugly and snails, slugs and stormclouds.

65 and clear skies. Couldn't ask for better.
 
While I live too far north for much of an eclipse we did get about 25%. However, it was cloudy so I just went out for a 4 mile run. When I finished the clouds broke and I just made a “pinhole” with my hands and projected the image on my leg. Yep, it was a partial eclipse.
 
I used 2 sheets of HP5+ black and white film exposed and developed, which turned out a bit dense, but okay for digital pic on tripod.

love the sunspot that was driving digital shooters crazy until they realized their sensors were fine, it was just a sun spot.

LoL, I tested my setup the weekend before and I noticed at least 2, maybe 3.
Some dude told me I had a fly on my filter
