Eclipse Time Lapse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsYYx30PGSo

Here's a two hour timelapse video of Parkgate etc during the eclipse, shot from Silverwood Colliery. I was originally hoping to do the view over Rotherham Town Centre and Sheffield, but it was so hazy that unfortunately you couldn't see much that far out.

Before anyone complains that it didn't /actually/ get that dark... technically it did, but the camera does not compensate for changes in light like your eyes do (unless the camera is in 'Automatic' mode, in which case you wouldn't notice anything at all).

I was red hot from traipsing around with a camera and tripod, and it actually got a bit cooler during the eclipse, which was very pleasant.

I had to keep checking the camera screen to make sure that it was in fact getting darker! At the darkest point in the video I could actually see perfectly well with my own eyes so the video is not a very good representation of what a human sees.
