Solar occultation on June the 10th, it was very partial in Paris (13%) but I wanted to make that moment unique by looking for a remarkable spot and an ideal frame...

I wanted this photo to be the most scientifically rigorous possible. This is why it need to be mentioned that the shooting is the real one with the exact size and position of the sun over this panorama. I also took the decision to not add false images of the sun to fill the two empty spaces where the sun was fully covered by clouds in Paris.

Few words on the photo : The attached picture is a resized version of 4096pxl to make it transferable, the original photo is about 21000 pixels height for about 1Go (tiff/zip).

Sun was shot with a 200mm lens & solar filter, the background scene shot just before sunrise with a 24mm and also shot with 100mm with 16pictures in panoramic mode (improving resolution). All the course of the sun was also shot with a parallel second DSLR synchronized
