A SPECTACULAR photograph of stunt rider Danny MacAskill performing a stunt against a solar eclipse, captured at the Isle of Skye, has emerged.

With only a small window of opportunity to capture the shot, MacAskill worked with photographer Rutger Pauw to plan the photo – taken during last Friday’s solar eclipse – by scouting potential locations on the island.

A short behind-the-scenes video of how the shoot was planned can be viewed here.
