Wave Action

This is a photograph of the 2012 solar eclipse in the South Pacific. We were on a ship a couple days’ voyage north of New Zealand, and it was following the track of totality across the water.

Unfortunately the sea wasn’t completely still. I had set the camera for a long exposure, the ship rolled, and I ended up with this photo of a mostly-eclipsed sun doing a mad dance across the sky.

I managed some more successful photos which I posted elsewhere.
