Howdy all, I'll be taking a trip starting on the 18th to an as yet undetermined location (narrowing it down by cloud cover, east coast) to witness the North American eclipse within the path of totality.
Does anyone have any tips on photographing such events? I'm a complete novice with outdoor photography.
So far my plan is to use my full spectrum NEX-5R (crop sensor) with the 70mm-200mm lens for additional magnification together with an IR pass filter, and the a7s for either video or a time lapse with the 16mm-35mm.
Any suggestions would be helpful, I'd also like to know what others plans are for recording the event.
Above all though I don't want to spend all my time fiddling with gear and not observing with my eyeballs .
My gear consists of:
Sony a7s gen 1
Sony NEX-5R full spectrum modded
Sony G 70mm-200mm f/4
Zeiss 24mm-70mm f/4
Zeiss 16mm-35mm f/4
Zeiss 55mm f/1.8
Zeiss 35mm f/1.4
Cheap manfroto tripod
Screw-on IR pass filters
