Solar photography practice

Friday, 11th August 2017; 12:13 pm

It’s a partly-cloudy day today, so we have an intermittent Full Sun for me to practice photographing. This was taken using my best camera, with the solar filter, at full zoom. A thin cloud was passing in front of the Sun, which is why it looks splotchy.

If a cloud passes in front of the Sun during the total eclipse, the disc will just vanish, and I won’t be able to see anything. All it would take is 2.5 minutes of cloud to spoil the entire photo opportunity on the 21st.
