Solar Eclipse Photography Checklist: 5 Quick Tips To Prepare
alpha-jessica-a posted a topic in Photography,
On Monday, April 8, 2024, the wildly anticipated total solar eclipse will be visible across the United States. Crowds will flock outdoors to witness it and Sony photographers will snap away to save the moment…but it’s not as simple as just going outside with your camera. There are a few things to do in preparation to ensure you get safe and successful shots. We caught up with Sony Brand Ambassadors Nate Luebbe (@NateintheWild) and Autumn Schrock (@autpops) to get some of their quick tips for preparing to photograph the total solar eclipse. Nate and Autumn are photographers who love nature, traveling, the outdoors, conservation photography, capturing epic landscapes, moonscapes, eclipse and astrophotography. Read their five tips below and ask them your questions during a LIVE AMA on the Alpha Universe Community Forums on March 28 from 3-5pm MT.
1. Decide On The Right Location For Eclipse Photography
If you want to get a good shot of the solar eclipse, you obviously have to think about where you’re going to photograph it from. Nate and Autumn have a resource recommendation for choosing the best location. “We love using PhotoPills for lining up where the sun will be,” says Nate. “This one might be tough since it’s happening more or less directly overhead, so getting a foreground element is a little more complicated. But PhotoPills is what we use to decide on the right location.”
Autumn adds, "It allows you to see exactly where the sun will rise and set, where the Milky Way will be in the sky at any given place and time, and even where the eclipse will happen. I highly recommend it for all of your planning needs."
