  • anyone planning photo's of the upcoming solar eclipse
    what specialist gear will you be using ? dark filters

    time lapse photo's might work set camera on tripod and set camera to take photo's every 10 or 20 seconds thus getting a nice transit
    anyone up for a ride in london to view it properly and show me what i should do to get the best out of the opportunity

  • I'm going to have a bash at this if i'm not working, 13 stop filter is required with an aperture of f22 and as fast a shutter speed your camera can handle.
    Luckily i have a 10 stop and an nd8 so stacked should be just the job
    Will post results if it's not cloudy but the chances of that in Manchester are pretty slim!

  • Make sure you double check the filters. ND filters are intended for the visible spectrum, but sunlight contains lots of UV/IR that the filters might not reduce.
