[QUOTE="nickt, post: 635397, member: 4923"] Quite a hazy day here in NY and heavier clouds rolled in right at show time. I was lucky to get a reasonable shot every 10 minutes or so. I used my 70-300 lens with nd400 filter. I don't think I would leave it on a tripod pointed at the sun, but for a quick handheld shot, I don't think I did any harm. I manually focused on infinity and left it. ISO 100, 1/8000, f32. They say nd400 is not adequate protection so I put frosted taped over the viewfinder and just used it as a rough screen to see light/dark and confirm the sun was in the frame somewhere. The camera body shielded my eyes from the sun. I cropped the image down a good bit and had had to drop exposure down -2.5 in LR. The images came out looking like b&w, so I warmed them up with white balance. Here's a few.
