A bad attempt at getting the solar eclipse...

[Bibhav Behera]

Tried getting the solar eclipse in a not so good attempt. Sadly so, couldnt get my hands on an X-Ray plate which would have made things much easier... Used my sunglasses as a filter in front of my lens... A 300mm would have been so much better here :)

Nikon D80 @ 135mm with sunglasses as filter (manual mode)
SS 1/4000
F 32
ISO 100

Well, at least you tried. Thanks for sharing!

I'd say it's a nice image... I like the compo too. Agree that a 300mm would have been wonderful here.

I hope you haven't damaged your eyes. As we don't have an eye doctor in this forum. :D

[Bibhav Behera]

Yea, my eyes are fine... :) (touchwood)
Used my new monopod and head combo for this, although could probably have done without it too.
Manfrotto 681B + Manfrotto 486RC2 head.
