How to photograph a Total Solar eclipse

Подробнее о видео

A Total Solar Eclipse is coming up on April 8 across North America. Here's how I'm going to photograph it.

Equipment I'll be taking to the eclipse (some links are affiliate links):

- Manfrotto 190X Aluminum Tripod:
- Manfrotto 128RC Micro Fluid Head:
- Sony Alpha A6600 APS-C Camera:
- Sony 70-350mm F4.5-6.3G OSS Zoom Lens:
- 67-82mm step-up ring:
- Thousand Oaks Optical 6x6 Solar Filter Sheet:
- Super Glue:

I'll probably take my GoPro and a second tripod, to set it up on the whole scene to remember our reaction to the whole thing.

Some of the resources I mentioned in the video:
