I really wish I had gotten my new camera already to get some pics. I'll have to try with my 35mm. I think it starts at about 9:15 EST. Next one won't be until March 2007.

Anyone have any suggestions film film and settings for photographing an eclipse?

I've missed the announcement in the news.

So it can still be useful to take a look at MacNN Lounge!


Thanks

nope no suggestions on film, but you might want to get away from city lights. I am going to try and take some w/ my digi and see what happens.

heh, i clicked on the link and saw 6:14 p.m. PDT, then looked at the clock and it was 6:15. Grabbed my camera, tripod, and binoculars and ran outside real fast. Er, that's no blood moon. Waited a few minutes...hmmm.

Woops, guess i should've checked the date on there. Ready for tomorrow though.
