Slideshow: Solar Eclipse

by Dave, onboard the Esperanza

While Sarah and the others were escorting the Lian Run 14 into Conakry, I remained on board the Esperanza, where I had the chance to photograph the partial eclipse.

I've seen totality before - back in 1999, on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. But back then I didn't have decent camera gear, or any proper filters, so I wasn't able to photograph it. This time, I was more fortunate, and was at least semi-prepared.

I've left the lens flares in - because I think they're quite pretty!
