Total Solar Eclipse 2002 - Sequence

Exposure Details
Date:	4/12/2002
Time:
Location:	Ceduna, South Australia - Australia
Camera:	Nikon F-70
Lens:	50mm
Exposure:	Partial Phases (Before Totality): 1/500s, Totality: 2secs, Partial Phases (After Totality): 1/250s, 1/125s, 1/60s, 1/30s at f/5.6
Film:	Fuji Reala 100

This was a challenging shot to take - capturing the entire Eclipse sequence on a single frame of film (no digital composite photo here!). It was made even harder by the fact that at the time of some of the planned exposures of the partial phases, clouds obscured the Sun. Overall I am happy with the result and captured the reflection over the water which was one of the goals. Thanks to Jeff Stanger for helping me modify the camera, and Andrew Sims for clicking the shutter during Totality.
