Since no other photos of it have been posted here yet ... Partial Solar Eclipse, 11am, Reading, UK

Canon R5 Mk II + RF600mm F11 + Thousand Oaks Optical Solar Filter (alas filter missing any details of its "strength") all on a Manfrotto 405 tripod.

Bottom left is the original (ISO500, 1/125s, F11) , top left is playing around with the histogram tool to emphasise brightness changes, top right a slightly later photo again with histogram modification.

I was listening to podcasts this week about solar eclipses in ancient (and even more recent!) times portending the deaths of kings.

In all seriousness, though, thanks for gorgeously done captures. It wasn't visible in my area.

ETA I realize this came off in poor taste. I was thinking of wannabe emperors.
