People ECLIPSE Photo

Photographer’s Note

The total solar eclipse that will take place on March 29th, 2006, will have a duration of totality of about 4 minutes. The shadow of the Moon will first cover the eastern coastal regions of Brasil soon after the sunrise and will travel along the Atlantic Ocean, reaching the west coast of Africa at Gana. The shadow will then proceed from Gana through Nigeria, Saharan Desert, Libya, and the Mediterranean Sea, entering Turkey at Antalya Bay. The 165 km wide shadow zone will travel in its path in our country from Antalya to Ordu with a speed of 3250 km/h. It will reach Mongolia at sunset via the Black Sea, Georgia, Northern Caspian Sea, and Kazakhstan.

Once the sun is completely hidden, you can see the full glory of the solar corona. The corona is about the same brightness as the full moon. You don't normally see it because of the blue sky. If you were in orbit above the atmosphere, you would only have to block the bright portion of the sun to see the corona. This is what orbiting solar observatories do. They can create artificial eclipses with occulting disks and observe the corona whenever needed, and for as long as is necessary.

Hello Koray,
Most people photograph the sun, while you photograph the people watching the phenomenon!
I like that kind of creativity... Besides, the image is well composed with good details... Their poses are really something, very well done!

Hi Koray, Your capture of the sun-worshippers gives some of the excitement of the moment to those who missed this event. The three leaning forward is dynamic. Well done. Rgds Murray.

This is the work in which happiness is given very much.
The season when the sun is long in coming.
If it is me, a mouth is likely to be opened awkwardly.

Hi Koray,

Interesting shot, I like the pose of these three women, is a simple work but it is also funny, has captured a good decisive moment, I hope that these glasses protect well, many people are damaging their eyes by looking at the eclipse of the sun.

José
