Cone of silence
This is a comparsion of surrounding over and around the Jamyemonen Primary School of Pokwero, Uganda. I tried to preserve a natural colors and brightness as close as I saw it by my own eyes. “C2” means second contact, the beginning of total solar eclipse. During totality the horizon just took very strong yellow color and around the Sun there was very easy to see a circular lunar shadow projected to high cirrus clouds. Also you can see, how lucky we were. And everything just got quiet… Used Canon 550D, Sigma 10 mm, f4.5, ISO 400; before eclipse – 1/1250 s; eclipse – HDR of 1/400 s, 1/250 s, 1/1250 s.
