It was cloudy at our location until a few minutes after the eclipse had begun. We did a native American cloud chase moment and the sky cleared and we had a nice partial solar eclipse to observe from Hawaii, the only state to be able to see the eclipse.

though in Taiwan I could not see the total eclipse, I saw the moon-shaped sun! These photos were taken in a nearby park and fortunately the weather was sunny! so I am able to capture the partial eclipse! the maximum coverage by moon is 78% in Taichung! I was able to see the moon-shaped sun directly through sunglasses when thick clouds passed through and it was amazing! Nikon D40X 1/4000 s exposure F22 with ND8 and ND400 filter some photos are without the filters
