Well, here’s my take on the eclipse, taken near Dubois, PA.
Did anyone else get a try at it?
Tech specs:
Shutter Speed: 1/8000
Aperture: f/40
ISO Speed: 80
Focal Length: 320mm
Also used: a Hoya HMC 8x ND filter stacked with a Tiffen Polarizer and a second Bower polarizer. That was a lot of dark glass in front of the lens! I’m sure glad I had that second polarizer, as it really made the difference in bringing out the sunspots. I didn’t have the right size of step-down rings, so I just threaded them all together, and held them in front of the lens while I shot.
I wish the results could have been a bit clearer, but I’m happy to have gotten anything at all! One thing about it, camera shake surely wasn’t the issue! 🙂 If I had been using my Canon, my max shutter speed would have been 1/4000, so I probably wouldn’t have been able to get the sunspots.
