Annular Solar Eclipse (Portland)
I was able to get a few images of the solar eclipse though the clouds this evening in Portland. Even though the eclipse was only at 81% at the peak, it was still an amazing sight to see. Wish I could have made to down to California!

Nikon D7000, 70-300mm Nikkor, polarizer

Wow, I'm surprised you caught anything at all with the way the weather has been. Cool!

I didn't see a thing up here. Good for you Scott! I like the way the clouds make the scene glow.

Yeah, the glow from the clouds really make this work well.
