Solar Eclipse 2020

Some pictures of Partial Solar Eclipse that happened yesterday. I took these photos using my phone OPPO Reno 10x zoom and just changed the exposure. 

One of my faves is taking sky photos. I have tons of them in my camera/phone. And yesterday I got to know quite late about the solar eclipse but luckily it was just in time. After finished reading my prayers, I quickly ran up to the terrace with my phone and goggles :D. It was a quite cloudy, windy, and humid day. 

This was the actual scene. It was cloudy and the sun kept disappearing. 

This is how it looked when I zoomed in and I could see the moon behind the bright sun! Subhanallah. 

The crows crowded me as I am trying to take more pictures. There were dozens of them, 

the crescent moon appeared briefly and I quickly took a few shots.

All the photos are not edited. I love how the cloud looks mysterious as I darken the exposure (as Eva said like in horror movie lol).

I hope you enjoy the pictures. 

Take care & stay safe,

Elvira

Shop Update and Corona

Half the year already and we're still busy sewing masks as positive cases are going up in thousands here in India. The other day I watched the third interview of South Korea Coronavirus Expert on Asian Boss Youtube Channel where he explained the origin of this coronavirus. He said it's from bats, but the intermediate animal which transmits the virus from Bat to human, the scientist suspected 2 wild animals, snake, and pangolin. He said humans may be infected during the process of capturing wild animals, not because of eating them. This is what happened with other previous outbreaks, like MERS and SARS. 

what I learned from the video:

1. This virus is very small 1/10000th of 1 mm
2. It can't replicate itself in an external environment, it can only do so in a living cell. So if someone is exposed to the virus and the virus enters their respiratory cells, it will use the resources from the cells to replicate itself in thousands.
3. He also expected the second wave to happen around Fall because we don't have any vaccine yet.

Well, it looks like this Covid19 will be here for a while, and we have to learn to live with it by adapting to the new normal.
