Annular Eclipse, May 21, 2012 - near Burney, CA.

I didn't have the correct camera equipment to shoot the eclipse, but the shots I did get with just a filter over the lens are pretty interesting.  All I could see through the view finder was just a big ball of fire.  Later my nephew attached my camera to his long telephoto lens and I snapped a few shots that look more like expected.
