Solar Eclipse

I was lucky enough to witness my first solar eclipse.  I didn't even have to travel to see it!  I used my Nikon D40 with 3 stacked filters (6 ND, CP, and a Hoya R72).  When sighting the sun in I used a shade 14 welding glass to protect my eye.  I then closed my eye, removed the glass, and snapped the picture.  This is a very amateur attempt to photographing a solar eclipse and I DON'T recommend anyone try it this way.  I did however get decent results!  I did do some color correction in paint.net.
