    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?598141ca46997_sunf8125.thumb.jpeg.18aa564c782c1920a7264c82ac47a222.jpeg

     

    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.

      Firstly, welcome to SGL!

      You would be much better posting this in the main boards - Solar Imaging - will get you all the answers you need, in plenty of time to capture this great event!

       

      Thanks,

      Hi daz,

       

      I'm having trouble figuring out how to post to the main boards.  I did figure out my photo problem though.  The sun is not 5500ºK - it is quite a bit higher!  Process the picture and all falls into place. 

       

      Thanks.
