Live eclipse pictures!

To my surprise, there was a break in the clouds for a few minutes,
around half past three, just after the total eclipse had started. Bit
of a panic with exposures and auto-focusing, but I managed to grab a few
shots. Nothing really sharp but this is probably the best;

My best three shots from this morning;

Eclipse start. Really [censored], 1/1000 at f5.6, ISO 3200, way too grainy.
Shot through a momentary thinner layer in the clouds.

Totality. 1 sec at f5.6, ISO 800. Taken in a panic during a very short
clear spell. Not all that sharp.

Eclipse end. A better quality one to end on, a full size crop this
time. 1/1000 at f5.6, ISO 400.

All taken with a Sigma 400mm lens.
