Photos/Pictures of Partial Solar Eclipse on 26 January 2009 at Malaysia

Salam and hello all. As I mentioned before in this post, there’s solar eclipse today and it has happened today’s evening. So, how about you? Do you see anything from your location? Anyway, I got several shots of the solar eclipse for today, 26 January 2009. Although I missed the moment where the moon obscure the whole sun, but since I got some of these shots, it make me satisfied a bit. To consider this is my first time taking a solar eclipse shot, these pictures really precious for me.

I have waited from 4.30pm to see the solar eclipse, but I can’t see anything since during that time the sun still shining brightly, so I can’t see if there’s any eclipse happen at that time. A bit disappointed at first because I can’t see anything, I went inside my house and plan to have a short sleep at first but end up overslept until 5.30pm. After woke up, I tried to see again is it the eclipse is visible. Yes, it was visible now. The time was at 5.53pm, I quickly took my camera. I did several setup on the camera and quickly captured the moment. It was cloudy at that time, as you can see from the above picture hence the solar eclipse little bit unclear. But I got several shots below that make me felt satisfied with what I got. So enjoy the pictures of the partial solar eclipse, do leave some of words if you love to.
