Solar Eclipse Photos

Taken 8/21/2017 Owings Mills, Md.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1 2 megapixel 12x optical

"About 80 percent of the sun will be obscured as viewed from Maryland when the eclipse reaches its greatest extent here, about 2:43 p.m. A partial eclipse will be visible from 1:18 p.m. to 4:01 pm. here."

I didn't have any appropriate filters so I couldn't just point the camera at the sun (except for one shot below when the cloud cover did the same job for me). Instead I tried focusing onto blank paper using an SLR detachable lense, and capturing that.
