Eclipse
I could find a new use for my welding helmet in the morning, weather permitting.

We did that in 1999 for the total eclipse. We didn't want to travel down to Cornwall just for the eclipse though, so we had a proper holiday and
watched the eclipse from the top of an Austrian mountain. I've got eclipse glasses this time, so that our kids can take them into school.

I've been handing out welding mask lenses to my kids chums........I hope a No.14 won't turn them blind.

Be careful as welding glass doesn't filter all the things that blind ya!
You need a 13/14 one and put it over the camera and take some pics!

In Aberdeen we were very lucky as the cloud cleared through the whole thing then had very light high clouds which allowed everyone to see it clearly
without the need for filters. It got very dark and cold.
The whole office was up at the windows watching it, this was taken through the office window -

Your picture looks great.
It has some "apocalyptic" aura.
No wonder I'm the past eclipses (sp?) were regarded as bad or ominous events...
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....

Was visible in Bristol, used a pin hole to watch the shadow then looked at the reflection in the window monetarily which was super clear but also
blinding. I was really impressed with the pin hole method, started with a hole about 5-10mm across then made a sub mm hole which made a tiny but super
clear image.
The Radio times said not to use welding goggles.

Welding goggles are just a tinted lens (for gas welding).
An arc welding lens as well as lowering light levels is also a filter, blocking both infra red & ultra violet
and is perfectly ok for looking at the sun, or any other nuclear explosion.

Grey cloud in east Suffolk - until late morning, when the sun came out... 
It did get very gloomy for a while though.
