Photo: the solar eclipse through a pinhole camera

We gathered at the Immigrant Overlook above Baker Beach to watch last night’s solar eclipse which was pretty frickin’ cool. Everyone had different ways of viewing it – some with makeshift pinhole camera devices, others with “sanctioned’ eclipse glasses, telescopes, solar-filtered cameras, and some even wearing several pairs of sunglasses at the same time to diffuse the sun.

The photo above was posted by Ocu-Master who rigged his 700mm telescope like a pinhole camera and for some unknown reason, projected it onto a coffee filter (maybe the only white, thick paper object he had on hand?). Hey, whatever it takes! 🙂
