Kim and Allan survey the cameras after totality has passed.
The only way to be truly eye-safe. Allan, Kim and Pin demonstrate they have eyes in the backs of their heads.
The sun is still partially occluded but light spillage prevents the camera from seeing this.
But it's a nice shot anyway.
Everybody's going for sunset shots. Posterisation is evident in the jpeg image.
You can just see the bite still missing from the sun.
A zoomed shot shows the partial occlusion. The internal reflection images from the camera show it even more clearly.
Now the sun is low enough to see the occlusion clearly with the camera. To the eye it was like watching an iceberg set below the horizon.
Here is the same thing zoomed in, but it doesn't help much.
To the eye it now looks like a shark's dorsal fin on the horizon, but light spillage diminishes the effect.
The last bit of the sun disappears.
Allan gets into his morning exercise routine using his favourite weight. Statistics show there is very little risk of pregnancy in this position :-)
We follow the Needham's 4WD on the track out. We follow the dirt roads out, rather than the highway, so we eat their dust for over 300 km!
Outside Anna and Allan's house, the unpacking process begins.
We returned the 4WD safely to Janet. Janet made us a delicious spaghetti bolognaise, and followed it up with ice cream with home-made caramel. Mmmm-mmmm. It went down very well.
