Eclipse Photography

Photographing an eclipse is actually pretty dangerous. The author partly fried the inside of his D300s during the 2012 partial eclipse. Oops! His Nikon still works but it was a good lesson. It was like photographing a military laser beam.

The book also explains how to photograph the total eclipse. The difference between shooting a partial and a total eclipse is massive. Your exposure goes from, well, the sun, all the way to starlight in a few seconds. Can you shoot 11 bracketed shots in 2 minutes under pressure? That’s what it takes to capture that corona and the stars.

Oregon Total Eclipse Guide Photography Locations

Where are some good locations to photograph the eclipse from? The book has loads of locations, how to get there, and where to stand to take the shot you want.

Some locations are well known, others are secret and quite unexpected. There is only one place in the entire region that you can get the total eclipse anywhere close to the mountains. And it’s not where you might think.

Photography Filters for a Total Eclipse

What density filter will you use for the partial eclipse? You’re looking at the sun. Not just any filter will do the job.

If you think you’ll use your iPhone or Android to photograph the eclipse, you’ll end up with a sun image that’s 40 pixels wide. The book has a simulation of different focal lengths for full-frame and crop sensors.

Where will the sun be?

The book explains exactly where the sun will be. Whether you’re in Salem, Lincoln City, Newport, Madras, Lime, or Prarie City, you need to know where to view the eclipse from. For this particular total eclipse, basic viewing is easy! But getting a good photograph is a big challenge. The Oregon Total Eclipse Guide gives you that information and more.
