A couple more eclipse images from Peñafiel in Spai A couple more eclipse images from Peñafiel in Spain, taken around 20 seconds apart, the second shortly after third contact. Quite a big difference to the light!#totaleclipse #solareclipse #spain #penafiel #españa
The total eclipse over Peñafiel castle in Spain, l The total eclipse over Peñafiel castle in Spain, last night. A surreal and exhilarating 90 or so seconds I will never forget. The light and temperature dipped down suddenly, as the moon hid the sun.I’m still trying to get my head round what I witnessed. Bonkers. It was great to share that moment with an army of fellow photographers. Check out my reel to hear the reaction as it happened…#totaleclipse #spain #solareclipse #eclipse #penafiel
That was a very surreal minute and a half. Watchin That was a very surreal minute and a half. Watching the total eclipse in Peñafiel, Spain, earlier this evening. The way the light changed all of a sudden and the temperature dropped is something I’ll never forget. I will also have nightmares about my camera remote deciding to malfunction at the important bit.Captured on the @seestar.official S50. When I’ve unfrazzled my brain I’ll try and look at the camera pics#spain #eclipse #totaleclipse #penafiel

I don’t think I’ve actually seen a poppy field locally since this one - I imagine social media has scared farmers off doing a repeat, given the number that descended on this spot#poppies #poppyfield #lonetree #foggymorning
