Not too difficult:
http://www.hemy.me.uk/Eclipse.html
The eclipse images themselves have all been cropped from the original full
frame size which was 5200×3500 (as in some of the 'environmental' images).
Fuji Velvia 50 if I remember aright, using an OM-3 (of blessed memory).
With Thousand Oaks solar film for the eclipse itself.

Dean, please heed what Charlie says, ND filters are useless, risking at
best a fried sensor, at worst irreparable eye damage. Thousand Oaks is the
one to go for, also sold as Baader Solar film. Like Charlie, I used a sheet
to make a filter for my Tamron 500mm mirror lens, as well as for the DV
camera. Yes, 500mm was about the minimum needed on 35mm, 1000mm would have
been better for the solar disk. But the wider perspective is equally worth
documenting, for which aidw angle could be appropriate.
I will look to see if my 2006 totality images are online somewhere....
