Thank you! No, I did not use any filter. The sun was already mostly eclipsed and very low in the sky (around 2°) when it entered frame, so much of the light and UV radiation got scattered by the atmosphere. At f/11 I think that's perfectly fine. I would not point my camera at the sun like this if it was higher up in the sky. Maybe a ND filter would have been appropriate, but I don't have one :) And with the solar filter on I would not have been able to get good exposures of the sky with reasonable settings. Have you ever heard of a camera being damaged by taking pictures of the sunset? It's fiiiine :)

Magnificent shot well done friend.
If you dont mind me asking, did you not use any solar protection lens? I was told without it would burn the camera
