Filming the Solar Eclipse on a GH2?
  • SangyeSangye

    I'd like to film the annular solar eclipse tonight -- it's passing right over where I live, so this is a once-in-several-decades opportunity. Currently, my plan is to use my Pentax Super-Takumar 55mm stopped down to f/11 with my LCW Fader ND, which I'll have at maximum strength before pointing up at the sun, and then adjust accordingly. Is this safe? Will I risk melting my aperture blades, or worse, my GH2 sensor? Is there anything else I should know before starting? Thanks!

    I shot some, I dare to say "TWILIGHT" looking stuff I'll post a little later. Hopefully it turns out pretty good!
