    There are probably no actual journalists now, just "AI" along with an intern who doesn't know good text from bad text.

    Waiting for the sun to do some dry runs. Finally got some sun today.
    Practice is needed. Lots of little unexpected things.
    For example the lens is 1000mm equivalent focal length. The Bolex reflex finder is already very dim, and with the solar filter, the sun is a dim disk. Any cloud cover and it totally disappears in the viewfinder.
    Locating the sun with the lens is quite difficult with the filter in place.
    I had to rig up a 'spotting scope' with the Ocatameter viewfinder on the side of the camera.
    The sun moves very fast across the frame at that magnification, so constant little adjustments are needed.

    I'm also planning on running a second camera with a wide angle lens running at 0.5 FPS for time lapse. Hope to have it set up behind the 'audience' so they are in the frame.
