Question by : can I take a photo of the solar eclipse without damaging my camera?
I don't have a solar filter. I know that I can't look directly at the sun but if I wait until the actual eclipse, can I at least attempt to photograph it? Or am I going to damage the camera? I wasn't able to get a welders mask or anything, all hardware stores sold out like two weeks ago.
Best answer:
Answer by jeannieWhere are you? If you're in the path of totality, you should not shoot it without a filter for both the camera and a filter for your eyes. You should never look directly at an eclipse. Blindness can result.
I'm in Los Angeles, where it will be partial at sunset. So, I"m wearing my solar glasses, but I'm not filtering the camera. As the fog is coming in, I think the whole thing will be moot anyway.
Good luck, but I think you should wait and prepare for next time.
