[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 635368, member: 26505"] This is the max we got here in the Dallas area. I wasn't going to shoot images, but then, I got the bug at the last minute. I made a filter out of one of the solar cards I purchased knowing that the sun's disk would be smaller than the card. I taped it onto cardboard and then taped that to my lens filter. It was further secured by the lens hood, then I checked for light leak before I left the house. I used live view and the crop mode on my crop camera. Worked great. The biggest challenge for me was the drift in my tripod head and realigning the camera to the sun. I had to use shadows to like up the lens. Several people stopped their cars to look at it, and I gave out some extra viewers I had. I think images with landscapes or people are much more interesting, but this was a learning experience for me, and I did learn a lot. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]265695._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
