this august I will be going to Spain to stand in the path of totality for the solar eclipse and i would like to take some photos/video footage of the event.
i know that pointing a camera directly at the sun is a bad idea without some proper equipment and that i need something called a neutral density filter or a solar filter (possibly both?) but i dont know exactly what i should be looking for in that regards so i would like a bit more advice on what exactly i need to buy.
additionally i am a complete amateur when it comes to this so i would really appreciate it if anyone who has photographed an eclipse before could give me a rundown of what i should do and what to expect while shooting the eclipse (aperture settings and all that jazz) #hobby
