Hi everyone! I am trying to figure out my exposures for the solar eclipse. I will be using 2 cameras (because I really love making things hard). One full frame DSLR with a 24-105 lens for an eclipse in background landscape and a APS sensor DSLR with a 400 mm lens (which crops to a 640). I will be using Marumi DHG ND 100000 filters. I am practicing and am having trouble reading the histograms. Everything I see says "when the histrogram clips off" indicates the proper exposure. I have an image here - can someone who knows more about this look at the histogram and tell me if I am moving in the right direction?
Many thanks. I am curious as to whether I am overexposing - the color is gone and I shot this in late afternoon when the sun appeared yellow. I've never used a ND this intense before, but ND is not supposed to affect color, leading me to conclude I'm overexposing. I have a few shots which appear more yellow, but the sun is muddy, obvious underexposure. Advice welcome.
Thank you.
