Excellent pics!!!!!

I was watching it and wondering which lens i'd need for a decent photo (probably a stupidly expensive one!). What did you use?

I seem to remember that Rider Haggard's heroes always used to use an eclipse and their prophecy that they were gods who could control it as an excuse to stop the natives boiling them up for their tea!
