In reply to the discussion: My best eclipse photo: [View all]CaliforniaPeggy
(149,625 posts)63. Oh, my dear ManiacJoe....
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Now, you must know that I had NO IDEA what I was doing. And I knew that I had no idea, so I got two lessons from a local professional photographer. He taught me what to do, and he suggested the F stop and shutter speed that he thought would work best under these circumstances. I used those values, and that's why I got this photo, among others.
The rest was just pure luck. I hadn't expected to get this photo at all. I was stunned to discover it when I was scrolling through the files in my camera. Luck. I was so very lucky.
