Insufficient tinting, but lens flair got the image at 95%
This might be bad for the camera sensor.
Always put eclipse glasses on your camera lens!
It was a bit smaller, but the light kinda bloomed.
Is it just me, or does anyone else want a curated list of Reddit posts about people complaining when destroying their cameras from taking pictures of the eclipse?
I point my camera at the sun all the time, It’s not harming the sensor even without a shield. I don’t get it. You don’t have to be paranoid about having the sun in frame. Maybe with a telephoto lens, or a telescope, or if you’ve got a tripod set up and the sensor is exposed for a long time. Regular shots? Go ahead and take a picture of the sun or eclipse.
I’ve seen issues with security cameras where constant exposure to the sun eventually makes the image look washed out.
I just remember a manual for an old Kodak digital camera said avoid pointing it at the sun.
It is a problem, when the camera is focused on the sun for extended periods of time. The heat concentration on the sensor can damage the IR and or Beyer filter, kill individual pixels or even crack the sensor outright.
Also, be extremely careful with DSLRs, the sensor will be fine, but your eye will not.
You need a minimum of fifteen pieces of flair.
Yeah, I couldn’t get a good pic of the totality, so my best one was similar
Are you saying that lens flare has flair?
Still better than my pic lol
JJ Abrams would be proud!
