Total Eclipse February 26, 1998 in Aruba
These pictures were taken in Aruba during the total solar eclipse
of February 26th, 1998. They were taken using a Minolta 430si
with a 400mm zoom and a doubler. Film was Kodak ASA 200.
Almost all settings were autoset.
Images with the exposed sun were taken with a solar filter in place.
The camera was supposed to display the local time on the frames but
did not for some reason so times are approximate.
