Everything you need to know to capture images of the visible from North America.
If you want to capture a wide-angle image showing the progression of the eclipse across a landscape then the basic technique, at least, is surprisingly simple. You'll need a tripod and wide-angle lens of about 24-28mm, with a solar filter across it, to capture the sequence and a foreground image.
After the eclipse, you'll be left with a few dozen images that are completely dark save for the tiny image of the eclipsed sun moving across the frame. All you then need to do then is take one image of the foreground and drag all the images into the freesoftware, which will create the finished composite image."Practice it once or twice ahead of time — it'll lower your blood pressure," says Shaw, who will lead a workshop in New Mexico to shoot the 'ring of fire'.
That foreground image is important."The safest thing to do is to wait until after sunset," says Shaw."Or you could try taking the shot during the annular phase because it's going to get pretty dark, but that would involve some extensive bracketing — and you'll only have a few minutes to get the shot." To prevent lens flare from the 'ring of fire' just put your finger over the eclipse, says Shaw.
A timer delay and a clip-on lens can help slightly in reducing judder and gaining magnification, respectively, but even then we're talking about a souvenir shot at best. Given that any photographer with a manual camera and a zoom lens is going to do much better — and flood social media with their photos — it's probably not worth the bother.
