![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Sat Feb 9, 2008 6:50PM | I shot this sequence last August, but I might try again this time with an extender so that I get a better resolution as my longest lens goes only to 200mm. Unfortunately this picture below has been downloaded only four times. Maybe it has bad keywording. There are tons of images here that have nothing to do with an eclipse. Maybe that turns our buyers off. I dunno. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Sun Feb 10, 2008 3:53AM | Hey up rob,thanks for the interesting post. Some years ago,cant remember exactly.I was working on a building site erecting railings and a partial eclipse of the sun happened.I could see it so clear through my welding visor.It caused quite a stir on the site, the sky darkened and the birds stopped singing.I actually passed my visor around as a crowd gathered and the view through my shaded glass was beautiful. |
![]() ![]() Posted Sun Feb 10, 2008 12:29PM | Cool! Last time I photographed an eclipse was my first time, and lets just say it was a learning experience! I couldn't wait till the next one, so I could get it right. My time has come! |

One of the trappings however is to spend it entirely preoccupied with a camera. It is relatively easy to photograph so don't sweat it too much and make sure you drop the camera a bit and just view it visually - especially if there is a medium to large aperture scope available to you (hint: find an astronomy club to view this event with; many of us love to show off our equipment |

![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:19AM | He's kidding (kinda). He had a moon photo deactivated because it was so good someone thought NASA took it. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Wed Feb 20, 2008 10:08AM | I guess I won't be taking pictures tonight. It's rainy here in the San Francisco Bay Area and the forecast for tonight doesn't look very promising (cloudy). |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Wed Feb 20, 2008 10:10AM | Sadly it is overcast here and not looking like its gonna clear. (Edinburgh, UK) Nevertheless, I'll take a peek out of the window at 2am to have a look. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Wed Feb 20, 2008 6:12PM | I was on my way to yoga, and decided to turn back skipping the class because the moon is so bright and sky is clear...didn't want to miss the opportunity to test it out. But so far none of my shots are good. I have to get out there again and do more test from the link Rob provided. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Wed Feb 20, 2008 6:23PM | wow, i got it! That site is awesome. Thanks Rob! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Posted Wed Feb 20, 2008 6:24PM | The sky is crystal clear here tonight ... just getting set up. It is of course h*cking cold. |
