Solar Eclipse Series #002

Partial solar eclipse sequence for Niagara Falls, New York.

Solar Eclipse Series #001

Here in Niagara we didn't get a total eclipse but it was still interesting. Here is a view of the partial with my Canon Powershot sx50 hs racked out to a 35mm equivalent of 4800mm. you can see the moon crossing over the sun from the right and actually make out a few sun spots on the sun.

Live Macro

My first attempt at living macro insects. Almost all my work previously has been with deceased insects but now I want to challenge myself outside the box. This yellow jacket is ok but I prefer more depth of field. I may need to switch to another camera.

Solar Eclipse (test)

My image of the sun in preparation for the upcoming eclipse. I think this will work for me. I didn't want to spend a lot of cash for special optics because we won't get a total eclipse here and it could be rainy or cloudy that day. I used my Canon powershot sx50 hs. I placed an R-79 red filter with two 2X neutral density filters on the lens. This shot was a test and handheld but for the real deal I plan on using a tripod.
