Solar Eclipse 2010
Unlike my undergrad college an eclipse here is really a celebrated event!
Junta at the event
Krittika – Astronomy club of IITB actually gave solar filters and had even setup a telescope for us to view the eclipse closely.
Here are some snaps I clicked that day:
Auto Focus; 20x Zoom
It is amazing to realize power of technology that lies within our hands today;
high zoom camera + solar filter = sunspots, observed by a common man!

And yes, there were a few, creatively-bent, willing to behold the power of the sun without any fear …
