Eclipse

So much light caused reflections within the camera generating the duplicate image. Taken May 1994 near Detroit MI, actually across the border in Canada, but hard to tell when you're looking at the sun. Thankfully I didn't get blinded, I actually had to take a quick peak to make sure the camera was pointed correctly. The eclipse from start to finish lasted about 5 min. What was really cool, was that the birds in the nearby trees went quite during the eclipse. This was taken with maximum zoom on my 300 mm lens + tripod, with the smallest aperature on aperature priority so the camera decided the shutter speed.
