Webinar Replay: Photographers' Countdown to the April 8 Total Eclipse

This is an edited replay of a webinar given on Mar 9 2024.

We're only four weeks out - now's the time to lock in your photographic plan for the eclipse!

In this session, we're going to concentrate on detailed planning for totality, with a focus on telephoto stills shots.

We'll delve into the second-by-second planning for the period from one minute before second contact (C2) to one minute after third contact (C3).

We'll discuss the detailed timings, camera settings, and equipment considerations you'll need to have in mind in order to photograph these phenomena:

Diamond Ring (or Double Diamond Ring)
Baily's Beads
Chromosphere
Chromospheric Beading
Solar Prominences
Corona

We'll be using Photo Ephemeris iOS to guide us through the timings, in conjunction with the Photo Ephemeris Eclipse Simulator to identify the phenomena we can expect to see.

This webinar is for anyone planning to photograph the April 8 Total Eclipse using a camera with a telephoto lens. You should have a basic familiarity with photographic technique and with the key stages of solar eclipses.
