To take images when the Sun is partially eclipsed, you\u2019ll need to use a special solar filter to protect your camera, just as you\u2019ll need a pair of solar viewing glasses (also called eclipse glasses) to protect your eyes. However, at totality, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun, make sure to remove the filter so you can see the Sun\u2019s outer atmosphere \u2013 the corona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#2 \u2013 Any Camera Is a Good Camera<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a stunning photo has more to do with the photographer than the camera. Whether you have a high-end DLSR or a camera phone, you can take great photos during the eclipse; after all, the best piece of equipment you can have is a good eye and a vision for the image you want to create. If you don\u2019t have a telephoto zoom lens, focus on taking landscape shots and capture the changing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a few other pieces of equipment can also come in handy during the eclipse. Using a tripod can help you stabilize the camera and avoid taking blurry images when there is low lighting. Additionally, using a delayed shutter release timer will allow you to snap shots without jiggling the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1041\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg?w=1041\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"people watching a partial eclipse\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg?resize=768,513 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg?resize=1024,684 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg?resize=600,401 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robincordinerlg.jpg?resize=900,601 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">People watch a partial eclipse in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on March 20, 2015.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\"><strong>Credits: Robin Cordiner<\/strong><\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>#3 \u2013 Look Up, Down, All Around<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Sun is the most commanding element of a solar eclipse, remember to look around you. As the Moon slips in front of the Sun, the landscape will be bathed in eerie lighting and shadows. As light filters through the overlapping leaves of trees, it creates natural pinholes that project miniature eclipse replicas on the ground. Anywhere you can point your camera can yield exceptional imagery, so be sure to compose some wide-angle photos that can capture your eclipse experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA photographer Bill Ingalls recommends focusing on the human experience of watching the eclipse. \u201cThe real pictures are going to be of the people around you pointing, gawking, and watching it,\u201d Ingalls noted. \u201cThose are going to be some great moments to capture to show the emotion of the whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#4 \u2013 Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure you know the capabilities of your camera before eclipse day. Most cameras, and even some camera phones, have adjustable exposures, which can help you darken or lighten your image during the tricky eclipse lighting. Make sure you know how to manually focus the camera for crisp shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For DSLR cameras, the best way to determine the correct exposure is to test settings on the uneclipsed Sun beforehand. Using a fixed aperture of f\/8 to f\/16, try shutter speeds between 1\/1000 to 1\/4 second to find the optimal setting, which you can then use to take images during the partial stages of the eclipse. During totality, the corona has a wide range of brightness, so it\u2019s best to use a fixed aperture and a range of exposures from approximately 1\/1000 to 1 second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#5 \u2013 Share!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share your eclipse experience with friends and family afterwards. Tag @NASA to connect your photos on social media to those taken around the country and share them with NASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re snapping those eclipse photos, don\u2019t forget to stop and look at the eclipse with your own eyes. Just remember to wear your solar viewing glasses (also called eclipse glasses) for all stages of the eclipse before and after totality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>
