I took a few pictures and have attached a few here.

Nice pix KW, would you mind sharing the technical detail as to how you took them?

Canon EOS 350D Camera
55-200 Zoom lens set to Auto Focus.
Quality set to 2496X1664

The partial phase pics were taken through a Solar Filter and the Total/Diamond ring with the filter off.

Camera set to Auto Focus and Program mode to take the thinking out of the exposure settings.

Shots downloaded to PC and cropped using Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album v5.2.2 No other enhancing done just cropping.

Hope that's what you wanted to know. I'm a complete novice with this camera and if the truth be known it was more by luck than judgment that they came out at all.
