Amos ... thanks for the comment. That particular photo was shot with settings set at a slight underexposre. The begining phases of the eclipse I shot with the exposure set dead on and at a lower shutter speed. These shots do display a vivid white and with more of that cream coloured hue. The temperature here in N.B. was a around -11c last nite. This frigid condition caused my camera to freeze up, which resulted in some frustration in getting the setting to function correctly.

As to the cause of my blindness ... all I can say is I should have listened to the priest. :)
