Partial solar eclipse, Dhaka 19 March 2007

Eclipse to start 6:32 AM.

Sunrise at about 6:12 AM.... waiting for the sun ...and it comes up a pale pink

gradually turning orange... a crow flies across.
CLICK!

I get so engrossed in the birds and the far away Mosque minarets, the eclipse starts and I miss the beginning.

Its 6:40... oh time went by too fast!
I look thru the lens [had inserted a exposed and fogged film sheet into the filter holder slot of  the 300mm lens to act as a 4-stop »neutral density» filter and to enable me to focus on the sun without being blinded] and noticed that the eclipse had started!
