BillyVance 34 #4 September 1, 2017 efs4everHeard stories about frying sensors. It was high and hot. Just trying to minimize damage. That's true, just thought if you had the right filter, it wouldn't be an issue, but I'm no expert. ETA - I'm definitely going to make plans to catch the next eclipse in 2024 when it passes over Texas.

BIGUN 1,317 #5 September 1, 2017 I started to go to Casper, WY for the eclipse as part of a 5,000 mile bike ride up to Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Heard about the traffic jams, so my riding buddy and I decided to saunter on over to Pocatello, ID for the night (Comfort Inn = $350.00 for the night) Then, we rode north that Monday morning to Idaho Falls. People were lined up all along the Snake River. We pulled into an Applebee's and the entire staff was outside in the parking lot with their glasses on. They asked if they were going to have to work or could they watch the Eclipse. We told them we were here to watch the Eclipse also and then have some lunch. One of the girls thanked us and as I was pulling out my paper plates to make the sun hole; the girl asked if we had eclipse glasses. We said, "No." there's another way to watch it. She came over and gave us each a pair of eclipse glasses. Your film portrays exactly what we saw. I had this great idea to take a pic of the eclipse with my cell camera through the eclipse glasses. That didn't work so well. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #6 September 1, 2017 I tried the same thing. Couldn't hold the phone still enough, and it still came out way too tiny with a bit of a zig zag light trail.

oldwomanc6 52 #7 September 2, 2017 BillyVance I tried the same thing. Couldn't hold the phone still enough, and it still came out way too tiny with a bit of a zig zag light trail. I was out on a boat (actually, several rafted together) in the middle of Lake Murray, Columbia, SC, and needless to say, the photo platform wasn't the best for taking pics, but was amazing for viewing! I'm surprised this is as clear as it is. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaDon 362 #8 September 7, 2017 Interesting video! There are lots out there taken with the solar filter. Yours does a much better job of showing the "atmosphere" around the event, the "sunset in the middle of the day" effect. Obviously you would not have been able to capture that without the tree mostly blocking the sun.
