can I take a photo of the solar eclipse without damaging my camera?


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.

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.

I also got the sentiment from quite a few people that they would like a little more information about what these cosmic alignments are tuning the consciousness of the solar system to exactly. I will be brief but since this time is very powerful as a STEPPING STONE to the Spirit's influence on our understanding of self... it is quite important we use the time wisely.Basically we had a lunar eclipse real close to the June Solstice which made alignments with Venus and Pluto. Venus connects with the second Chakra, Pluto with endings and spiritual achievement and ALL eclipses connect subconscious with conscious creating a neutral place for information to just come or pass through... like a portal and in strong conditions become multidimensional as well. Normally the affects of an eclipse will last 1 month, starting 2 weeks before and ending two weeks after.As this Solar Eclipse on July 11 is almost exactly 2 weeks after the Lunar eclipse we just had we had quite a shifting pull on mixing our conscious daily lives with our subconscious dream lives and memory banks and also all the right elements to make this portal open to more dimensions.But there was even more to this cosmic event and it's relation to future cosmic events make it that much more important. During the Solar Eclipse on July 11th the solar system will be tuned to the frequency of the heart chakra and omit a super cosmic blast of love energy. The lunar eclipse caused a great pull on the second chakra and Pluto being connected was making its tune to the point of pushing us to let go of negative thought patterns or desires.This is really important though, because although the there will be a cosmic blast of love omitted by the alignment of the solar system... if we have not taken advantage of the pull by the previous and current alignments to purge the second chakra, bad thought patterns and damaging desires we will not have opened up the potential in our energy bodies to receive this cosmic gift.We are currently full on in an alignment to let go of personal attachments... but if they are not recognized and let go the alignment can cause the personal attachments and unhealthy thought/desire patterns to become stimulated and heightened.THIS IS DONE MOST POTENTLY THROUGH RECAPITULATION!Begin recapitulating daily for the next 3 days and write down all the memories that come to you the strongest when you get into your regressive meditation.Really we will begin to see a lot more separation in the world after this time. Many will become joyful beings full of love, light and happiness. Others will fall deeper into the dark and their own personal, separate miseries.I am sure you know which path you would like to unite yourself with.The most important thing we must stay aware of is that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE for what we

is it true: both Venus traveling across the sun & a solar eclipse will occur in 2012?

Question by : is it true: both Venus traveling across the sun & a solar eclipse will occur in 2012?
and the only place you can view these events in the western hemisphere is on a remote island off Chile. the History channel show says that Venus crossing the sun is rare. How rare is it? how often does it occur? it(venus) occurs 200 days before Dec 21, 2012.
ok, so are transits of Venus viewable everywhere? or just on this remote island off the coast of Chile?


Best answer:
Answer by Viola At NeonYes. None of this has anything to do with 21 December 2012, unless you're some sort of gullibility victim. Or just plain dumb.

Transits of Venus occur in pairs 8 years apart, with about a century between the pairs. The last pair were in 1874 and 1882. This pair are in 2004 and 2012. The next pair will be in 2117 and 2125. This has been known for centuries.
