This is my plan for attempting to shoot the June 10, 2021 partial solar eclipse from Chicago.

In this planning video, I go over my eclipse shooting plan in PhotoPills and talk a little about equipment selection and how that affects field of view and subject size. Wish me luck!

    I always enjoy the insight. Thank you. I very much appreciate the comment about using a solar filter, or in this case not needing one. There doesn’t seem to be too much info out there if you are trying to shoot a foreground subject with the sun low in the sky.

    Hey Ian, great explanation of your plan! Are you going to use any filters on the lens? I'm guessing the relatively low angle of the sun at that time likely won't damage the camera sensor though, but just wondering.

    Good question. You're right. Because of the low-angle of the sun in Chicago, I won't be using any filters. If I were somewhere in the world where the eclipse would be higher in the sky, a solar filter like this: bhpho.to/3fzikOu would be necessary!

    Paul, just FYI, we've found a hiccup in the plan when we pre-scanned. There are so many boats moored in the harbor that they block the lighthouse! If you actually want to join us, we'll instead be trying to shoot the William E. Dever Water Crib. from the lake shore north of Ohio Street Beach, right about where E Superior Street meets Lake Shore Drive.

    Hi nice video!!! Just For Info: the “Size Of Sun/Moon” indication has nothing to do with the FoV option. On Planer, tap the layer icon. Tap the Arrow icon (right side on screen) at Sun or Moon. Here you find the toggle switch for “Show Sun/Moon size”

    That is a very good point that I missed! Thanks Peter. I have the Sun and Moon size on by default so I forgot about this detail.

    What kind of filter will you use for solar eclipse ?

  • @LonelySpeck

    @LonelySpeck

    3 жыл бұрын

    Durul, Because the eclipse is only visible in Chicago right after sunrise, I'll not be using any filters... the low angle of the sun dims it dramatically at sunrise/sunset so it's "safe" to shoot it without a filter. If I were in a place where the sun was higher in the sky, I would use a solar filter like this: bhpho.to/3fzikOu
