Danny MacAskill is never one to miss a chance for a stunning photograph
Some of the most stunning videos and photographs we have seen over the past 12 months have come from daredevil cyclist, Danny MacAskill… So it is perhaps no surprise that he has used today’s eclipse to produce another masterpiece.
MacAskill’s reputation was further enhanced with his latest viral video ‘The Ridge’, shot on his home island of Skye last year and today he returned to his homeland to produce one of the best eclipse picture we have seen yet.
The photograph, which sees Danny appear in front of the eclipse, was created by friend and photographer Rutger Pauw.
Pauw came up with the idea after reading that Skye would be one of the best views of the eclipse, with 98% of the sun obscured and despite shooting the picture from more than 300m away across a valley, Pauw and MacAskill still produced a quite incredible photograph.
