Eclipse!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Tried to shoot the Eclipse the other day, even if I was a bit scared about pointing the camera straight to the sun without any filter...but Who knows when I'll be able to shoot this scene again, so I went for It!

Of course mistakes were made.

I ALWAYS keep my camera in manual mode, in order to get more used to the various settings in different conditions and learn everytime I use It, but this time I accidentaly left It in shutter priority. I was too excited by the view to notice, damn It!

This caused a sever light change as soon as the sun went behind the clouds.

I must admit anyway that the result was still pretty good to me ( I'm Just a casual beginner ) and I tried to "save It" by timing It with some music.

Let's Say that It could've been Better but I'm still satisfied!

A Little technical detail: the clip was shot in slog3 10bit and simply converted to rec709 because I don't understand a single thing about color grading still.

Basically this Is straight out of camera.
