Somewhere I've got a photo that I took (using a Leica M4) about 20 years ago during a partial solar eclipse. I was in Salt Lake City at the time. I didn't photograph the actual eclipse. I just photographed the shadow of a tree during the eclipse. What was strange about the image was that the shadow from each leaf appeared to have a little notch cut out of it, as a result of the eclipse. I once saw a similar photo that Ansel Adams had taken years ago. It wasn't the kind of photo you'd hang on a wall, but it showed the somewhat bizarre terra manifestation of a solar eclipse. If I can ever find the negative I'll scan it. Or if someone else has one, I'd like to see it. Like I said, it's really bizarre.
