Eclipse by the Southern Ocean

From the photographer: “I had a fantastic clear sky for the eclipse but almost everything else that could go wrong for me – did. My timelapse camera was set in the wrong mode and recorded the AVI instead of RAW files, so the Moon is blown out beyond recovery there. The mosaics were also overexposed. The only thing that worked was the camera that I left running because it had nothing better to do! The best looking image is this half a second ISO100 exposure in strong morning twilight.”
