In reply to the discussion: My Eclipse Photos [View all]CaliforniaPeggy
(149,615 posts)33. My dear Kablooie!
The clouds protected the camera and me from the worst hottest rays of the sun...
And I just pointed my digital camera (Nikon D50) at the sun when the clouds were just thick enough...
I was using my zoom lens too...all the way out to 250 mm.
That's how I did it!
It was really fun, too.
