Wasn't sure where I should post this as I am looking for information on how best to photograph a solar eclipse using large format and film and also inform the forum of this up coming event in our backyard.

Anyway there is an opportunity for us in the USA to photograph a full solar eclipse on August 21,2017 across certain parts of America from the Carolinas to Oregon coast. Here is a link to information regarding the times and path of the eclipse; https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/

Hopefully this will give all of us enough time to plan our great photo opportunity and share information.

And please share with us any knowledge on how to do it with film, calculate exposure without destroying our meters, our cameras, or burning holes in our film. Thanks
