Question by : Is it bad to take photos of the solar eclipse or transit of venus with a D-SLR directly pointed at the sun?
I have not done it yet. There is a Transit of Venus next month which I am very anxious to take photos of. However, would it harm my camera?

Can someone also provide tips for how to take such pictures?


Best answer:
Answer by jlb777Taking a photo of a solar eclipse takes specialized filters to protect the camera sensor and your eyes. Here's a link that gives better details and info than I have. It goes without saying, never ever look through a camera lens or with your naked eyes directly at an eclipse unless you have the proper protection and know exactly what you are doing.
