RE: The June 2012 Transit of Venus

Yeah, not too bad. I really wish I'd had at least a variable ND filter to set to max darkness for all the shots I wanted before the sun got to the horizon where it really dimmed. Believe it or not I was using a blank CD as a filter. They're just translucent enough. In fact, it wasn't strong enough. The sun was still bright as hell.

I can't wait for the Great American Eclipse of August 2017. I'm going to be much better prepared for that one.

Really I didn't even notice it. I didn't realise the light would go though them.
