Solar eclipse photography 2026

On August 12th we're heading to Hoek van Holland for something rare: a partial solar eclipse, with over 90% of the sun covered at its peak.

We'll meet up before it starts so everyone can get set, talk through settings, and explore ideas together. Then we'll shoot as a group as the light slowly shifts into that late-evening eclipse glow. The total duration will be about 2 hours.

With nothing but the open sea on the horizon, we've got a clear, unobstructed view - hopefully some perfect conditions to really focus on the sky and the changing light.

Bring your gear, any (ND-)filters you've got, and a bit of patience. The hosts will be there to assist you with your photography and questions.
