Description
It happened this morning as I got down to witness what's happening on the news. before this I overheard some rumour yesterday at University about a 'Supermoon' from one of the students, you know the oncoming event of a solar eclipse or whatever it is to happen on the following day. I watched it all happen and seen the sun itself (on where I live its different to glimps an actual solar eclipse, having the moon not correctly centred in the middle, blocking the sun so it shows a ring-like outline) I only got a chance to take a few photos of the sun then as the moon flies by, taking precaution by using a pair of sunglasses as protective lens, saving my eyes so I don't blind myself; including using them as well for peeking out to see the eclipse myself despite my eyes aching a little even from the afternoon (don't worry I haven't stared at the sun without sunglasses, I know it'll damage me if I did)This is my favourite shot I took, the image came out sharp and very clear, even if there was cloud covering the sun/moon but its better as it takes out most of the brightness away

I've managed to capture it as the moon passed by. Luckly it was getting cloudy and it wasn't as bright.

Daytime. I was awake by 9 and went down to notice it been shown on the news.

the image may look dark but that's because I used a pair of sunglasses, even when the clouds were
starting to appear and the sun wasn't as bright than earlier.
