2024 Solar Eclipse
Posts
I wanted to photograph the solar eclipse but didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a solar filter that I wouldn't use afterwards very often so I bought a 5 by 5 inch piece of solar paper that I sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard that had a hole the size of my lens cut out in them, then fastened that onto a cardboard tube that fit snugly around my camera lens. I put the homemade solar filter on a tripod and hooked up a remote trigger so my finger on the shutter button wouldn't cause the camera to shake while taking pictures.
