Fantastic shots, well done. We had crystal clear skies over London. I went up to The Point in Greenwich overlooking London, the views were superb. Unfortuantely, I didn't have an appropriate ND filter so just photographed the changing light reflections on iconic London buildings. While it didn't go very dark at 91%, there was a noticable fall in temperature.

Yeah it really doesn't start to get noticeably darker till like 95% and even 98% is like a daytime heavy storm level of darkness. If you are going to photograph you should have a Solar Filter and not a ND filter. I made my own for less than $25 with some Solar Filter Film and cut up vinal folders.

Here we only hit like 5% cover so nobody paid any attention to it. It was also hazy since the humidity is like 85%.
