Timelapse Video of the Lunar Eclipse at Barns Ness
Like millions of other people across the UK and parts of Europe I went out to witness the partial solar eclipse yesterday morning. Luckily the skies over Eat Lothian were clear and so we got a great view as the moon passed across the face of the sun, covering 96% of the surface. I set the X-T1 up on the tripod to record a series of images that I then used to produce a short timelapse video. Because I didn't have a celestial drive for the tripod the camera was static as the sun and moon passed through the sky so I had to reset the position of the camera on several occasions during this sequence, but you can clearly see the moon eclipsing the sun. It was certainly a great experience and by 10am it was all over for another few years, the last one being in 1999 prior to this one. Images taken on a Fujifilm X-T1 + 55-200mm f3.5/4.8 lens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
