2009 Solar Eclipse, Makati PH

I got lucky the other day, June 22 — i didn’t go to work because i woke up past 10am already — I got to witness the solar eclipse!  I rushed outside the house when Adrian buzzed my that he got pictures of the partial eclipse. I didn’t know how to view an eclipse, so I called James and he suggested I empty a bag of chips and use it as a filter.

So I emptied a bag of piatos and look at the sun through it and oh my, a part of the moon is covering the sun. I got excited and really wanted to take a picture, but the piatos bag wouldn’t just work as a filter. Adrian used a film he pulled out from a 3.5 floppy disk. Lucky me, I still got a 5.25 floppy disk, hehe. I used it as a filter for my Nikon D70s, with Sigma 18-125 mm lens mounted.
