Taken with Pweets crappy little Fuji camera and through a welding mask.
1/2000 sec exposure & f stop 11
No tripod and the mask was a bit grubby so it's not super sharp.
Also the sky was a bit misty between the clouds.
Not to mention that the subject was quite a long way away. 
In spite of all that you can still make out the sun spots.
There was only about a 10 minute window when the clouds mostly cleared so I only have half a dozen pics all around the same time.
Good Shot! I'd be happy with that.
If you look at the official NASA vid, at around 0:50 there's some sunspots which look like yours.
They are not sun spots, It is planet x and Nibiru coming on a colision course to Earth, remember? 21/12/12 the lizards are coming!
That's strange. ??
The sunspots in the NASA vid are rotated about 100 degrees clockwise.
The pattern is the same but it is rotated.
I've got no idea why that is.
Also strange is that their shadow is across a much more northerly latitude of the sun which would mean they took the vid from a more southerly latitude than where I was. I would have assumed they would have taken it from the northern hemisphere.
All this makes me think that theirs was taken from a space orbit and not taken on Wednesday.
It might be a case of "Here's one that we prepared earlier."
One thing is for sure though, their camera is a little bit better than mine,... by about fifty million dollars. 
Well that's cheating! I can't aford that sort of stuff! 
I wonder what sort of welding mask they use?
Wow, if that little dot is an entire planet, then the sun must be huge!
Sarcastic yes... but it does make you think about the scale of your life in the universe!
What ever... Tips the Scales! Spend more time on the water and less at work.
Yep nice photo you did, I guess the sun spots are just rotated as the shot was from the Northern Hemisphere, our view of the transit was in the "lower part" of the sun.
I did go to my kids school to show them with a simple pair of binoculars and we could see the sun (with Venus) projected on a piece of paper.
One funny thing is that I did show them the live pictures on the net and they thought it was... cool. But then when the sun came out (lot of clouds in Sydney) I called them to have a look and they were just screaming with excitement, they couldn't believe they could see it in real life ! And they looked so bored with the great pictures from the net.
A great feeling.
But imagine the pictures we'll get in 2117 !
Traditionally the T of V translates into more green arrows for a week or two after.
