there is gonna be a partial eclipse in Hungray this Wednesday. I want to record it. what kind of lens do I need. where can I get them?
 
Lot's and lots of ND. You are still shooting directly into the sun! Protect those CCDs!

And more imporantly, also remeber to protect your eyes! Don't just glance past the lens at the sun with your bare eye, you could do some damage!

It's solar.

The pinhole camera obscura idea is excelent, I've seen it done on TV before (for viewing, not for shooting), works great. I presume it woudl work well fro shooting as well (it looked fine on TV after all!) Very safe too.

Do this.




The pinhole camera will ahve crazy DOF, so dont worry about hte distances fro mthe pinhole effecting the sharpness of the image.

we didi this in school with pretty good results.
