Partial eclipse at sunset || A7C II + 55-210 in APS-C mode
I wanted to try and photograph a partial solar eclipse over Czechia. I had basically no plan whatsoever, so I took my old 55-210 kit lens, since I don't have any other telephoto, taped a lens from those solar filter glasses over the front element with some duck tape, set it on a tripod and hoped for the best. I think it came out pretty well for this kind of setup. It's a composite of the eclipse phases each spaced 5 minutes apart. The sky background is also a composite panoramic picture because I wanted the same pixel density canvas to put the sun photos on, therefore I photographed the sky at 210 mm taken right after sunset and stitched it together in editing. Crashed my computer a few times as it was over 10 GB of raw files to complete the final image. Fun experience for sure
