Well done. Never heard of a solar filter until now

[@taku_kumabe]

I'll have a video on solar filters coming up soon, to show you what it is.

[@robinc-k7162]

great video, thanks! Can you recommend a brand of Solar filters?

[@taku_kumabe]

There are the more well-known brands like Thousand Oaks or Baadar Planitarium that I would go for. I bought the latter one, and I show you how to use it in my upcoming video I'll post this weekend.

THanks Taku >> we have hot sun conditions in Africa so I have laernt a lot here and will try my first attempts bnext year when on trips

[@taku_kumabe]

Thanks Peter. That's a great place to practice. You can get really creative there doing silhouettes of wildlife walking in front of the sun near the horizon. Have fun!

I have head that taking photos of the sun can damage or even burn ur sensor on a mirrorless camera so how to prevent that?

[@taku_kumabe]

Yes it's true. It can happen if you aren't careful. Just don't have the sun prominently in your frame for an extended period of time when you don't have a solar filter on. If you have a solar filter on your lens then you should be OK to expose for a longer period of time. If you're just taking a single photo of the sun then take the photo and change the direction of the camera so it's no longer facing the sun.
