Preparing for the Eclipse

Here in Dallas, Texas we are lucky enough to have full totality with the upcoming solar eclipse.  We could, if we wanted to, experience this once-in-a-lifetime event in our backyard. We are choosing to walk over to the Coppell festivities. Since we will not see this phenomenon again, we want to make sure we are prepared and practiced to capture this event.

First and foremost is SAFETY. Looking at the sun can blind you and destroy your camera. Make sure you have the proper glasses for your eyes and filters for your camera, including your phone. Only during the three minutes of totality can you view the sun without protection.
