Eclipse

[JamesT]

Not the best ever shot of the recent partial solar eclipse.

Shot with the Bronica ETRS, and a 200mm lens. On FP4+ film with an IR filter, with a bit of a guess for the exposure at 1/125, f/11. Rather surprisingly the combination of normal Pan film + IR filter has resulted in the H-alpha super-granulation being visible. This is quite a severe crop as most of the sky is very under-exposed and just shows dust from the negative.

Well at least you tried, I wouldn't even have bothered trying using film.

Never easy doing an eclipse  ... good try  James ..

Thanks,

@RyewolfIt was actually the only combination I could think of that might work without having to hunt for my rarely-used ND filter, and a lens for the 70D with a 58mm thread. The Bronica has the advantage also of a waist level finder so not looking directly at the Sun.

Thats a really handy thing when it comes to capturing an eclipse ... It 's easy to momentarily forget  that looking into the sun is so dangerous ... My first eclipse was taken  by focussing on the reflection in a pond !!
