also it looks like it is out of focus as you should see some sun spots. also keep in mind depending on your filter, it might not be eye safe, so use live view instead of your OVF

>>4299110
Yeah I need to figure out the focus since it's a manual lens. I'm using the live view, of course.

>>4299111
focus rings can be very sensitive at infinity, if you get it close you should be able to use CDAF to finish focus. if you're having problems you can get one of those levers I have on my focus ring. Sunwayfoto makes them

no, i know it's supposed to be life changing but it isn't worth the travel for me, i'm not so old that i can't see one in the future when i have more money and time
plus i got my share of fun sun things with the wildfire smoke in the northeast last year, where i was able to shoot the sun in daylight and without filters or glasses and see the sun spots >>4299110 mention (thought they were shit on my lens at first until i looked it up online and matched them to then-current sun spots which was cool as hell to me)

>>4299110
>>4299123
That's also with a ND100k, forgot to mention. I just ordered a 1 million just to have options. That's probably part of why you can't see sun spots, aside from my focus.

>>4299107
OP
Do you see this nigger here? >>4299108 look at him.
He sounds like he has half a clue about what he's talking about. He probably actually doesn't. Most don't, and most who try still won't.

Whatever you do, you'll be disappointed. Just rest easy knowing you can't get a good photograph of it without spending at least $25K.

The other anon trying to bracket with his fancy tripod is probably gonna get a better image than you, but none of you are gonna be getting amazing shots like you're used to seeing from NASA and other places using literal telescopes and liquid cooled sensors.

Set expectations accordingly and embrace the moment. Use necessary shades and VIEW IT IN PERSON don't worry so much about the camera, don't ruin the moment for a subpar photograph your eyes (with binoculars or something, or a telescope) will see it better than any DSLR will. 45MP is child's play compared to what the human eye is capable of. Unless you've got bad eyesight or something but even still, that's what the telescope/binoculars are for. Those have ways to adjust/correct for your personal vision.

This kind of photography is legitimately hard. You're subject to light pollution, atmosphere, and a long list of other issues.
This isn't gatekeeping. You can always try with cheap kit or lack of experience but the point is these are rare, and if you spend your moment fucking around with your camera and don't appreciate it in person you'll be doing it wrong. Make the best of viewing it at the moment through your actual eyeballs and do the camera thing on the side. You might get a cool shot but there are millions of people doing the same and there will be some huge spenders with awesome gear (who are also willing to travel to ideal locations for viewing, which you might not be) posting their images for all to see, so even if you screw it up you'll still be able to see cool photos.

The next total eclipse in the US is in 20 years duder, assuming you're an American. Every other total eclipse is overseas n shit. Ausfailia, Iceland, etc. If you didn't want to travel for this one and you know you'll live another 20 years then okay.

>>4299428
that has nothing to do with it

>>4299438
>liquid cooled sensors
nigger this is the sun, not a deep space object. you need a ND5 filter to not even destroy your lens, let alone your sensor. its not like you need 10 hours of integration time here.

>You're subject to light pollution
again, this is the fucking sun

>atmosphere
seeing conditions are a legitimate concern

>huge spenders with awesome gear
again this is the fucking sun, you can do this with a entry level APSC DSLR and a 70-300 and a solar filter

>>4299441
technically there is one in ~10 years in alaska

>>4299447
>nigger this is the sun, not a deep space object. you need a ND5 filter to not even destroy your lens, let alone your sensor. its not like you need 10 hours of integration time here.
No it isn't, this is the ECLIPSE. Most of the frame will be low light.
Also, noise is noise.
Sensorlets and cheap "pro" DSLR fags think their images are of sufficient quality but they all rely on noise reduction for the most part (or Adobe meme software which applies it, and "raw noise reduction" by default) so they think their sensors are noise free when they're not.

>again, this is the fucking sun
kek
Again, it's the eclipse.
Light pollution matters here still.

>seeing conditions are a legitimate concern
They always are which is why travelfags are going to win over cityfags and densely populated townfags.

Decent is possible, but anyone aiming for spectacular will be BTFO by what the big budget fags will get.
A lot of people look forward to these. Like they'll actually take off work and hop on a plane to get to a good location.
Whether you're a full frame or even medium format faggot is irrelevant here you're gonna get out tryharded by someone who actually cares about astrophotography and has the kit and knows how to photograph eclipses.

Your eyes are still better than the travel+kit fags camera, so eye up that shit behind your protective shades and witness it firsthand. Trying to photograph the thing that countless millions are also photographing is kind of a wasted effort.
The photography game is rigged. Everyone except giant budget organizations is already hopelessly cucked by the RGB bayer filter and subject to its losses, while the likes of NASA or tryhards will be using panchromatic sensors and color wheels/multispectral imaging devices with telescopic lenses.


You might capture a 6/10.
The real people will be capturing a 9/10.
All I'm saying is don't tryhard to view your shitty 6, and view the 10/10 with your actual human eyes and live in the moment.

>>4299452
>Most of the frame will be low light
its not that low light. i'm using a Z7, for earth shine it is 1/10th shutter speed, f/5.6 and ISO 3200, for the inner corona it is 1/60th f/5.6 and ISO 64. you're a retard who hasnt even looked at a exposure calculator.

for comparison when i've shot the milkyway, it was 14mm f/1.8 ISO 25600 and 3 second exposures, and like 50 light frames

stay poor and stay retarded anon

>>4299107
Your photo looks out of focus and overexposed. Also if you’re in the path of totality, be advised that you’ll need to take your filter off for totality, so find a way to easily take your filter off without moving the camera too much or you’ll spend most of those precious 3-4 minutes readjusting your setup

>>4299441
yeah I'm a burger and used to disappointment don't worry
>you know you'll live another 20 years then okay.
of course i don't know that for sure but it's alright taking a measured risk on and the only places nearby for this one are almost certainly gonna be raining or snowing anyway

Like >>4299438 said, when it comes to cool pictures of the sun during an eclipse your janky telezoom is never going to compete with extreme UV images from ESA satellites and such.

If you want to see for yourself how far you can get with The One You Have With You™, knock yourself out. If you want an image someone else may be interested in looking at though, a snapshit of the gathered crowd stands a better chance.

So turn you back to the eclipse and capture the wonder on the face of some elementary schooler, figure out how the sun's position in the sky would fit in a decent landscape/cityscape shot, make a timelapse of your dog sleeping through the whole thing, the eclipse barely visible through a window in the background, whatever. If it ends up shit, at least it's not the exact same shit image 10.000 other people also took.

I got a photo good enough to make me happy with a 1" sensor and a 70mm equivalent lens.
Seven years later, with full frame and a 400mm lens, I will get a decent picture. This isn't scientific imaging; I'm not trying to extract any useful data from the photo.

Oh, except it's going to be thunderstorms all day. Fuck me.

>what if I just put the eclipse glasses over the lens
they arent big enough, they're designed for your eyes, not a lens. they're link small sun glasses. if you had a sheet of the film it would work. this isnt advertised as a solar filter but it is 16 stops. wont block UV or IR

>>4300309
could i use this for other situations as well? $100 for a 2 hour event seems steep

>>4300316
not really unless you like blurring water or trying to take exposures of busy areas and make it look like there arent people there. most people bought their shit a month ago or longer

>$100 for a 2 hour event seems steep
be gald you dont use 95mm filters like me

>>4300316
also thats a magnetic filter so you get to spend an extra $30 on an adapter for your lens. or just buy them and return them after the 8th

>>4300306
BH isn't sold out. In fact they're already cheaper than I paid, because they want to unload all their inventory before Monday.
Look for "universal solar filter" - it's just a cheap cardboard housing that you'll slap over your lens, but it does the job for $20.
>>4300316
This is a once, maybe twice or thrice in a lifetime event. People are spending thousands of dollars on flights across the country, lodging and other associated costs. Please trust me when I say that $100 is worth it (and you're maybe $30 with shipping).

It's pretty much only appropriate for solar photography. Nothing else that you'll be looking at needs THAT much attenuation.

Watching people lose their shit over cloud projections/models and cancel plans is primo entertainment.

I have to work at my wageslave job despite only being half an hour away from totality. wasn't able to get the day off because the higher ups already took the day off

Can I just use an ND filter? I don't care about getting too many amazing shots, maybe just a couple. I read a reddit thread and they said I would fry the sensor despite taking pictures of the sun all the time and haven't noticed any damage

The Sun does indeed have texture. Go buy a solar filter, borrow a camera, steal a lens, learn some basics, and start taking pictures. You'll see texture if you're not using potato gear.

I'm using an ND filter. an ND100000 filter. The ones you'd use on the beach or by a waterfall won't cut it.
~HOWEVER~ it's looking like a lot of places along the path of totality will be seeing cloud cover. If the clouds are mid-upper atmosphere, and not too thick, you might be able to shoot through them and get some decent results. I only had a basic ND filter when Venus transited across the Sun, but there was just enough cloud cover to get the shot. And, the clouds added to the picture, I think.

>The Sun does indeed have texture.
the sun has solar granules, and your super telephoto doesnt have enough resolution to image it you retard. Your horrible photos are all from amplifying noise in post. Do you notice how absolutely no one posts RAWs when called out on it. Occasionally you'll see retards who say what their noise are super granules, but are too retarded to realize that is at a lower layer in the photosphere beneath the granules and that they arent imaging it either. So again nigger, post a raw file of your sun with texture.

Also, if it's impossible to capture texture, what are those lighter areas on the surface, around the sunspot at 10 o'clock? Camera dust?

you're shooting at 1/1000 and f/6.3 with that ND100000. I can just do 1/4000 f/16 with my setup to reduce the incoming light. I don't see what the benefit of ND100000 is over what I'm doing

>>4302120
In live view, shutter speed is irrelevant. The sensor is exposed continually. Aperture matters, and if it's stopped down, it might be OK. Just saying there could be a risk. Regardless, don't use your viewfinder during any of this unless you're at totality. Burn out your sensor? Sucks. Burn out your retina? Yeah, don't risk it.

The more I think about this, the more I don't like it. Unless you're ready and willing to destroy the camera, don't stack a couple NDs.

I know the appeal of taking the shots is huge. Believe me. But, it doesn't mean you're gonna walk away with nothing. From the very thin crescent before C2 to the thin crescent just after C3, you don't need a filter. If it were me, I'd settle on taking a bunch of shots in that range. The "diamond ring", the "Bailey Beads", catching the corona, why not work on that. Bracket your shots for exposure around +/-2 and take a lot of pictures. Those are the ones that are the real show-stoppers.

or will solar eclipse fry my CAMERA SENSOR ITSELF or something?
what if I keep lens cap on, and only take off for the ~1 minute or so?

>From the very thin crescent before C2 to the thin crescent just after C3, you don't need a filter. If it were me, I'd settle on taking a bunch of shots in that range. The "diamond ring", the "Bailey Beads", catching the corona, why not work on that. Bracket your shots for exposure around +/-2 and take a lot of pictures. Those are the ones that are the real show-stoppers.

>bought a6000 during pandemic, learned the basics
>live a few hours from totality
>bought geared head and solar filter for my 500mm reflex lens
>have been busy as fuck and didnt practice nor understand what im really supposed to be doing.

I googling it, but I guess im just fucking winging it tomorrow.

>>4302176
Same advice I gave another anon. Use bracketed exposure, +/-2ev throughout the eclipse. Take your filter off JUST as totality is about to start and take pictures at varying shutter speeds.
As the eclipse starts, use ~1/1000 to 1/2000 and go slower and slower as you near totality...it's getting darker and darker. At totality, ~1/50 should be OK. Remember to take 3 shots using exposure bracketing. You want the shot you dialed in and a shot 2 stops faster and slower than that. This will increase your odds and you can stack them in Photoshop or something to get better shots of the corona. Good luck.

I want to do something like this, how long apart should each picture be? like 5 minutes or something?

>>4302191
Probably closer to 8 minutes. But, it never hurts to take more pictures.

Hoping it will at least be something like this. Will still be cool, maybe even better since I don't have a solar lens

I only have my shitty kit zoom 14-42mm and a circular polarizing filter, so at best I'm getting pictures of people gawking at the sun.
Then maybe bird watching while I wait for everyone to leave. I should've got some sort of telephoto but I only remembered to make preparations at the start of last week.

bracketed exposures as other anons have mentioned. pic related is for me with a Z7 and 500 f/5.6. technically 1/10th as the minimum shutter speed is wrong as that is for static stars rather than the sun which moves faster. although it is kind of a moot point as im using an electronic shutter and my sensor readout speed is close enough at 1/15

>>4302191
lol no, that is a composite. exposures vary greatly. also with horrible editing making the corona orange, nad terrible chromatic abberations

>>4302196
considering it has almost all phases, more like 2.5 hours

Stop by Robert's Photo while you're there. Great bunch of people it's like Adorama or B&H but without big noses. You can also local pickup their ebay sales there, found my Df and my Beseler Topcon there. It's off the 65 just past the 65/70 interchange.

They have a really cool used section with all kinds of neat shit, they have a mystery film bin full of expired film and a filter bin as well as a battery bin. I got a bag from them too as well as some expired BW400CN and two batteries. You owe it to yourself to visit.

About to leave on my 10 hour drive, later guys

>>4302212
>but without big noses
???

>>4302223
B&H is so jewish you cant shop on shabbat

>>4302220
Almost in Ohio, taking a break

If I use the fastest shutter speed, can I get away with no filter on a telephoto or no?

>>4302288
Your lens aperture and sensor will melt

>>4302288
You can get away without filter during totality (use whatever speed you need to get the proper exposure). When significant portion of sun is visible, your lens iris assembly and camera shutter will likely get permanently damaged..

>>4302293
>>4302289
Shit, okay.

>>4302288
If by telephoto you mean 80-100mm, you'll probably be fine. Much more than that is not advisable.

Based anon staring at the sun. It got completely cloudy where I'm at (98% totality) so I couldn't even see the shadow or the pinhole camera effect from leaves, and looking at the map I'm pretty sure the people who drove west to be in the path of 100% got clouded out too so they got the darkness but not the ring. Don't feel too bad about missing it, ate a sandwich and watched the robins instead.

Oh, yeah, the rest of the country was clear, but here in the Northeast I think a lot of people had already resigned themselves to it being cloudy. Still, I'm not yet old and ugly enough that I'll never have the chance again, I guess.

The sun is easily the brightest thing most people will ever see. You need very powerful filters, even more powerful than welding goggles.
I needed to use a filter AND foil with a hole punched through. And even then I had to go all the way up to f18 (highest my long lens does), ISO 100, and 1/4000th shutter.
The sun is absurdly powerful.

You can look at the sun directly, with a number 8 welding lens... i used to do it all the time when I worked in the field.

i love watching people destroy their phone camera sensor in real time on social media gives me good giggles

>>4302483
You need number 14 welding lens to block the UV and infrared from hurting your eyes. Probably won't hurt your sensor though.

Dude I'm a welder. And I have never had welders flash ever even when I burned wire 9+ hours a day with number 8. Welding arcs have harsher and stronger UV rays than the sun.

Even NASA suggests number 14+.

NASA and all those other agencies are just going with overkill, a number 14 is the highest standard for welding lenses. My auto darkening helmet doesn't even go that high anyway.

Welding arcs flashing off brightly painted walls can even cause welding flash the sun only affects your eyes when you directly look at it.

Furthermore, welding flash usually happens at an angle, because the rays hit from the side and bounce around the inside of your eye ball and "sunburn" the inside of your eyes.

None of those photos are viable. The sun is just far too small in frame. The only way you could get photos like that are composite shots or just outright digital manipulation.
Not to mention the ungodly dynamic range you'd need.

Hastily processed since I've been up for over a day and drove for over 14 hours, I'm tired. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

it was absolutely surreal. I couldn't believe how the horizon looked all orange and sunset-like 360 degrees around all at once.

>It's pretty much only appropriate for solar photography. Nothing else that you'll be looking at needs THAT much attenuation.
What if I want an hour long exposure at ISO 50 and f/32?

All my pictures were out of focus because I got too excited and started dancing.

>>4302624
I need a huge viewfinder. I was only able to see how out of focus mine was when it got really dark.

>>4302663
tether the camera to a laptop like >>4299108
and it becomes a lot easier
