This video captures the sunrise annular solar eclipse from 3 locations in the Pilbara, Western Australia, May 10, 2013.
Cameras were placed at the south west, north west limits and centreline. 3 Canon 5DmkII + 800 mm timelapse at each location and Canon 1DC + 2000 mm 4K video in the north.
A big thanks to Geoff Sims for setting up the south camera, collaborating on site location, transporting lenses and eclipse timing/position calculations.
Thanks also to Peter Nanasi for providing the lovely original score at short notice.
Inspired by an optical illusion he had seen elsewhere, Tom Interval of the Houdini Museum created this illusion using the likeness of the great Harry Houdini.
When you look at it, the question “is Houdini looking at you or to the right?”
