As it is generally clear at the moment, 53% of the sun being covered will probably appear as if a cloud has gone across the sun to most people, who won't notice. More info in the link.

I thought the deeper blue sky and weaker sun late afternoon was very strange.

This photo I took through a dark welding glass covered with a dark green piece of glass as well.
The welding glass alone let too much light through to upset the focus and contrast.
