Topic: How to Photograph an Eclipse
Speaker: Rob Hawley
Abstract:
This talk will focus on how to take pictures of the eclipse while still allowing you to enjoy the experience. It is based on a series of talks I gave in 2016-17 prior to the last US eclipse and has been updated for the latest information. Taking photos of eclipses is harder than you think. It discusses equipment, photographic techniques, and weather prospects. For those that cannot attend the talk a more complete version is available on
