Ridiculous eclipse shots

Ridiculous eclipse shots
I put the eye glasses over my camera lens and this is what I got (no solar lens for my camera). The moon was 1/3-1/2 over, I think, but my camera seems to have the skill of a human brain and "finished" what the shape of the sun was supposed to be, rather than what it was. How that happened, I can't imagine. I do believe I can see a tiny, vague indentation at the 12:30 o'clock position on both suns and these were taken just a few seconds apart.

Any ideas, explanations, comments are welcome!

Oh yes, I feel the same humility with all things astronomical and have since childhood, lying in my sleeping bag in the backyard on summer nights.

Our max. was 97%, which left more light than I had imagined (see photo "eclipse dog"). I was hoping to see a couple of stars, at least! It was chilling enough to be rubbing my arms - such a bizarre feeling on an otherwise hot day!

Hahaha! Mine did too, until I darkened exposure - a lot - in editing. Thanks, Smiley!
