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: amzn.to/4bI2kVg
- Manfrotto 128RC Micro Fluid Head: amzn.to/3SZ1Bb8
- Sony Alpha A6600 APS-C Camera: amzn.to/48jfoO7
- Sony 70-350mm F4.5-6.3G OSS Zoom Lens: amzn.to/3OKL349
- 67-82mm step-up ring: amzn.to/49Ei7ma
- Thousand Oaks Optical 6x6 Solar Filter Sheet: amzn.to/3OL9nTo
- Super Glue: amzn.to/3OLAPQR
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.
