The Total Solar Eclipse of 29 March 2006 Brief History I've first witnessed the magic of a solar eclipse on 11 August 1999, in Bucharest, Romania. I was 11 at the time, and I could not forget it. A deep desire grew within me to see another of these celestial wonders, and the opportunity came almost 7 years later, when a total solar eclipse occured close to my home country (Romania). This time I was 18 and determined to keep it for ever in my memory: I went to Turkey, Antalya, and then travelled to Side, a beautiful historic location some 80 km to the east, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, on the day of the eclipse. I had my camcorder and my camera, tripods and special sun filters to block the sun's light. I recorded and photographed during the partial periods of the eclipse, and recorded the totality entirely. There are obvious problems with the video: firstly, my tripod was rather stiff and it gets a little shaky when I move it to center the sun. Eventually, the sun is not centered for most of the eclipse: I could not spend my whole time fighting the tripod, when I also had to photograph the event. Secondly, the time of the recording is incorrect by a few minutes, as I had failed to bring my camcorder clock into accord with the 'real' time. Please refer to the following section to see the correct time of the eclipse start / end. You can see one photo of the total phase as the title to this video, and a collage of several photos as the closing of the video. All ...
