"Solar Eclipse from Apajpuszta" Capturing this image of a solar eclipse involved thorough preparation and a little luck for nature photographer Milán Radisics. He began by creating and studying digital replications of the phenomenon, and then took to the road in search of an ideal location from which to shoot. On the morning of the eclipse Radisics set up in Apajpuszta, near Budapest, but to his great disappointment, the horizon appeared impenetrably cloudy. Suddenly, as luck would have it, the tip of the sun's red crescent emerged from the haze, and he got his shot.
