Details:
While the people on Svalbard could enjoy the incredible total solar eclipse experience with no clouds, the Faroe Islands conditions made it completely different. Lot of clouds covered the dreamt-of views into the eclipsed sun and lot of people saw just a darkening world around them, not the eclipse itself. Some of them were more lucky and saw the phenomenon just in a hole of the clouds. This was my case too as I observed it close to the lighthouse in Tórshavn. Just a few seconds after the totality ended, there was a sort view among the clouds to the rest of disapearing corona while the sun was showing up again. I took my binoculars 11x70, enjoyed at least the part of the covered sun and took accidentaly one shot with prepared equipment next to me. I was in shock that it was, actually, lucky shot. There are faint structures of the corona and one of many dramatic prominences as seen from the images taken by photographers on Svalbard. Good luck in bad luck... Used Canon 6D IR Mod, Rub 500/8, ISO 200, 1/250 s.
