21/08/2017 Partial Solar Eclipse

UK was predicted to experience a (very small) partial eclipse. It had been very cloudy all day but a few minutes before the event the clouds parted. So grabbed the Pentax K5 + Sigma 70-300mm zoom lens and hot footed it to the Turf Walk at Totland Bay. Captured many images, this was a nice one showing some sun spots as well.
