UNTIL NEXT TIME! - Навчання та стиль
This is so informative. Thank you very much Stan Honda.
Best one on the event
Thank for you for including the advice to just look at the eclipse without futzing with the camera, it was so blue and brilliant and i could see so much with my eyes
Looking forward to this
Hello from Vermont. Can't wait. Thanks for the video!
Very helpful! Thank you very much.
Excellent video! THANK YOU!
What a great video! I took screen shots of his exposure settings to use while I'm out setting up my rig. See you all in Hot Springs, Arkansas!
Seeing how you made your solar filters was very helpful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! So much amazing information. I knew a lot of it, but this helped me make some last minute decisions that just took my images over the top. Did I mention thank you?!! =)
This was outstanding. You really helped calm my anxiety regarding the technicals. I am definitely taping multiple cheat sheets
Calmed me down too! Just what the doctor ordered.... Good Luck, and here's hoping we have clear skies.
When you take your filter off put your camera in high burst mode and hold the shutter release button down. Get a many pictures as you can. Be sure to use a high speed card so your camera doesn't start buffering too soon. Then when you turn bracketing on you'll already have the burst mode on. You won't have to repeatedly hit the button to take each photo of your bracket. Just hold the button down until it takes all 9 photos. Leave it in burst mode until it's time to put the filter back on and then switch to a single shot. With my old Canon T6s I had to go into the menu to change a lot of that. Most higher end cameras have buttons on the top to change one or both of these modes. Some have a quick menu you can go to and make the change. If your camera has custom shooting modes you can set one up for the partial phase and change to the custom mode that has your settings for the total phase. My z6 II has 2 U selections you can set up. My z8 has different banks you can access through the i menu. If you have settings pre-programmed it'll make it easier to switch from one to the other.
Thanks for the great info. I had been looking for an eclipse video that answers all my questions. It wasn't easy. But this video definitely fit the bill. Thank you.
How does it look west to east
Great presentation! I'll be just a little south of you near Kerrville. Will be almost exactly on the centerline.
Thank you
i found my Nikon d3100 with a 70x400 -70x700 telescope is a great match to get full corona .. and they are not expensive. camera and scope under 200$ set up today with my 90x1000 scope to check out sun spots.. never seen so many
I had one question, and Stan answered it for me. Everyone else I have seen mentioned to remove the filter from the camera when totality begins. If the photographer does that, then Bailey's Beads and the Diamond Ring can't be photographed. Thank you, Stan, for confirming to me that it will be okay to photograph the sun without the filter just prior to the totality stage, but keep your glasses on when viewing with your eyes during those final stages of the partial eclipse.
ALSO, I think using the Baader filter is best because color can be added in postprocessing if yellow or orange is desired. With an orange filter, you won't get a good look at the red prominences.
I got good prominences with my orange mylar filter in 2017. He says that yes you can remove the filter at Bailey's Beads but he says that you keep the exposure the same. I don't think he is right with that. You will need to decrease your exposure significantly and bracketing will be your savior.!
Great video! At approximately 51:35 minutes in at slide "Increasing Exposure During Totality," can you use EV interval bracketing instead of changing shutter speeds? My camera only brackets EV and it would be a hassle to manually change shutter speeds.Thanks.
what would be a good lens
If I’m shooting a wide angle shot using a solar filter on a mirrorless camera in 5 minute intervals, should I put the lens cap on my lens between exposures to protect the sensor? Thanks! Great video!
No, no need to put a lens cap on. The filter blocks most of the visible light, so the camera will be fine during the partial phases. But remember to take the filter off right before totality,. Thanks!
Pulled out and dusted off my old cheap sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3f nikon F version contemporary lens and hope it works ok on my Z7ii..haven’t used this lens for over 6years😂
Great event! Very detailed, but also very understandable and not overwhelming. Stan did a great job. He anticipated and answers for every question in his presentation. Nice to know one can get a sheet for the filter, and not have to invest in a circular screw in filter.
The Adobe Photoshop video tutorial you cited is seven years old and applies only to Photoshop CC! Can you update? Thanks.
I want to thank Adorama and Stan for this excellent opportunity. I do want to ask one question--apart from the Corona blend tutorial, Stan had mentioned that there would be another tutorial link. I didn't see that. What processing tutorial link was that and if you could kindly provide that. Also, I am curious if there is a link for a tutorial to create a earthshine on the face of the moon during totality. Thank you again.
I think I might have been talking just about the corona blend video. In the first corona blend video, there is a link to a Part 2. I don't know about any earthshine videos.
Hi, This was great. I have 2 questions. 1) Do the clip-on filter film degrade? I was all set up in 2017 but cloud cover wiped out totality. I have used the same one for the sun a few times. It's just the cardboard one. and 2) Since we missed it last time. Is there a way to set up a 4k video with the only thing I have to do is take the filter off and on and grab stills later so I can just enjoy the eclipse?
The solar filter film doesn't degrade if stored properly. Hold it up to the sun, if you don't see any pinholes, it should be good to use. I don't know much about video for eclipses.
Great video So I take the solar filter off right before the diamond phase ?
Yes, when the crescent sun is very thin you can take the filter off.
About 20-30 seconds before C2.
@@StanHonda-bn7tk but you said to keep the exposure the same on the beads and diamond ring. Should you not, increase the exposure significantly with the filter off and start bracketing.?
if you´re using a mirrorless camera is it safe to use a ND filter? I got why not using it in a DSLR but what about mirrorless?
In 2017, after looking back at my images, there was a significant deference in exposure between the partial with filter and the diamond ring with no filter. This disputes what Stan says.
At 44:43 in the video I show a contact sheet with consecutive RAW images of the partial to diamond ring transition using the same exposure. The time frame is short - 15-20 seconds or so, and the "ring" effect diminishes quickly. Your filter and equipment may be different than mine. This procedure seems to work for other filter/equipment combinations.
He mentions a safe solar filter for the camera lens... Is this the same as a neutral density filter....?
No, many neutral density filters are not safe for solar viewing. See the AAS link in the video description above to see a list of safe filters.
using dslr fisheye 10 -17mm apsc any issues due to the fisheye
No but the sun will be a pinprick at 10mm or even 17mm. It’ll look like one of the fixed stars.
Even a 200mm kit lens will take a better picture. Been there.
It may be hard to use a solar filter for that lens. But you could use it just during totality. It might produce a good photo. The sun/moon will be small, but you will see the corona plus a huge amount of the surrounding landscape. I used a full-frame fisheye in 2017 that produced good photos.
@@DMS20231- 17mm on an ASPC camera gives you 25.5-27.2mm, depending upon the camera brand and sensor crop factor.
A camera cannot capture the total solar eclipse against the dark blue sky seen by the naked eye
The Sony "Creator" app allows you to control the camera remotely as well as change settings from portable devices.
Looking forward to this
