Solar eclipse
Not fishing related I know, but as it's such a rare event I thought I'd share an image with you all. I took the day off work in the hope the weather would play ball and I could get some shots of the eclipse. It looked like it was going to be too foggy and cloudy at first, but after a slight location change and a bit of luck from the weather gods I managed to find some relatively clear skies, though I had missed about 15-20 minutes of the start of the eclipse while moving. I took over 300 images in total, and compiled this image from 20 of them.
Not too shabby for hobby level gear, you can even make out a sunspot at the 10 o'clock position on the sun.
