  • While not a full or even annular eclipse here in Santa Clarita, California, there were still some interesting views to be seen. Four different cameras were used, each running in timelapse mode...
    In the first several sequences we see intense orange images filmed with a Canon SX10-is, using its full optical zoom of 20x, which equates to about 560mm (35mm equiv.), and a disc cut from an old arc welding mask as a filter. Three large sunspots can be clearly seen in the sun's orb, as the moon takes a slow, ever increasing bite out of the solar disc. As the eclipse ends just before sunset, the sun darkens and then finally sets behind a very distant mountain range. Digital panning across the large image frame and wind buffeting the camera makes for some interesting "action" in these sequences...
    Next, (at 1:15 ) we see the sun's glare in a blue sky as the Canon 5D mk2 records the change in daylight level using fixed ISO, shutter and aperture. This sequence was filmed using a 17mm wide angle lens and Fotasy wide-band ND filter, set fairly low (perhaps 10-20) in its setting range, and includes the 1st half of the eclipse, from start to peak. An eclipse-shaped lens flare (an internal reflection of light between the glass lens elements) appears at 1:28
    At 1:31 the view switches over to a GoPro Hero2, which recorded the entire event from start to sunset at 10-second intervals. Its automatic exposure compensated for the change in light level, but still managed another interesting view.
    Then we see the view through a Canon 300HS at 1:41 which was set on fully manual mode to record the ambient light level change from start through the peak. This view gives a better idea of just how dim the sunlight became as the eclipse passed the 80% coverage mark. No filters were used on this camera, but the exposure compensation was set to its lowest level for the duration.
    At 1:48 we switch back to the Canon 5D mk2, now with a 300mm lens and ND400 filter for the peak-to-finish of the eclipse. As the sun sets lower on the horizon you can see its color change to red just before it disappears behind the distant mountains.
    We return to the Canon 300HS at 2:16 after a battery change, to see the remainder of the eclipse and beautiful sunset.
    At 2:34 we recap the first SX10 sequence at a slower speed to get a better look at those sunspots. I was surprised that they were so visible in these images.

    Absolutely STUNNING!
    I was mentioning to a friend just before this event - "I wonder what JCMegabyte will do with the solar eclipse?" Now, I have my answer. Your work is ever stunning, showing beautifully, the power and the glory of God!

    Stunning, the sun becomes the crescent, as she passes by, and it goes down.

    We'll have a total solar eclipse here in Indonesia on March 9th(2 days to go!), but because I live outside the umbral path, I only get partial eclipse with 86-89% obscuration.
    Can't wait to see it!!

    This was filmed with a static tripod mount (no tracking equipment) so the images had to be cropped manually one at a time as the sun moved across each frame. It was a ton of work...

    What are we seeing at 1:30?
    The white spec appears to be a really odd lens flare?
    But what about the black dot that appears above the sun?

    • @jcmegabyte
      @jcmegabyte  9 лет назад

      SnakeSSSStretcher That's definitely a reflection between the lens and external filter at 1:30 ...It comes into view as the sun angle nears the center of the camera's outer lens curvature. I don't see the black dot above the sun though.

    • @RoyBuchanan309
      @RoyBuchanan309 9 лет назад +1

      It's there... just a bit to the left, before the shot fade.

    • @JcmdiStockFootage
      @JcmdiStockFootage 9 лет назад

      SnakeSSSStretcher If I'm seeing the thing you're referring to - a very small object which appears for only a very short time, it's most likely a bird or insect which flew through the field of view and was captured on only that one frame. That happens frequently while I'm doing time lapse sequences and can be really annoying when the object(s) are very close, very numerous, or just seem to want to ham it up by flying right in front of the camera the whole time! =)

    • @RickyRyanRay

      The lens flare during a partial solar eclipse will be crescent shaped because a lens flare is just an internal reflection of the sun on the glass of the lens. Since the sun was partially eclipsed, so was the lens flare. Happened to me today and I thought it was so freaking cool.

    I heard the eclipse was only visible from Texas westward. The Venus transit should be visible everywhere... The only question is exactly when will it appear in the sky over your area. I have yet to look up that info for Los Angeles, but it's probably easy to find on most astonomy sites. =)

    Here in Pennsylvania we'll only have a .8 magnitude view of the 2017 total eclipse.
    I've never seen any solar eclipse, so I was wondering what it would be like.

    If it wasn’t partial
    It would be annular
    I think it was annular when it did the maximum
    Cause the sun is is most likely to be a ring
