Solar eclipse pictures

I was lucky to be working in Portola, CA last Sunday. I took some shot of the eclipse. Enhance with colored filter and an Xray film.

Very nice pictures Ramon. Thanks for taking the time to share with us on the internet. They are really nice photos. I don't understand the x-ray film concept though.

Very nice!!! I was wishing I knew how to take pictures of the eclipse. How did you do it?

The last one is very ominous looking. Did anyone else think "The Ring"?

I put it on manual, set shutter speed to 1/15 on the f-stop at 22. Add warm filter 85. Then over that, get a developed exposed (all black) x-ray film.This will cut down the brightness. You may use a dark filter but this does the job. Be sure you have a tri pod and shutter release cord. Then shoot.

I hope this helps.

i'm wondering why you would need f22, unless it's just to cut down the light as much as possible? nice pictures

That's a great idea. If I am still around for the next one, I will be trying that.
