Hi all.
I am getting very troubled at the moment. I have listened to the advice in quite a few magazines, forums and indeed comments from the group, regarding the Eclipse in Turkey next week. I my mind I just want to go and enjoy the event as I did the last time I saw (a very limited) Eclipse in the UK using a welders mask I have a compact ETX scope with a screw on solar filter which I have decided not to take, as amongst other things my digital camera has proved un-reliable (when it really matters!) I am not planning to upgrade my camera untill I can afford a decent DSLR. My problem is I still want to return with at least some images. My only other camera is an Olympus standard SLR with a 70-210mm lens. This camera has a manual adapter. Not really being a photographer - could I expect to return with any decent results from this? using a tripod and cable release? Vibration? If so, what shutter speeds/aperture setting should I use during the stages of the eclipse? I appreciate I will need a quick release ND filter (which number) I have not tried taking any pictures of the sun via my BC&F filter so I am unsure. Where is the sun anyway! Alternatively I could forget it all bar my solar specs & come back and wait for Pete to upload his images and drool... ;-) Ian. Tamworth. UK. |
