Sun with a DSLR only


Guest

Recommended Posts

One of the biggest issues this time of year is that the Sun comes up before we start work and sets before we finish. With other things to do at lunchtime, such as eat! there isn't time to set up telescopes, etc. I still do drawings under bad conditions but I have proved that a DSLR and zoom lens is a better alternative in clear conditions. So, yes, I,n sure I could have got a better shot with my Mak and DSLR, with a webcam for close-ups but I see this as an opportunity gained rather than lost. I used a Baader filter, 300mm focal length, ISO 100 and 1/4000 second exposure.
