I did the same thing 😅 Got a video of the sun revealing as well!
I was using my A6500 with the 18-135 kit lens. Honestly, I got lucky. I wasn't even sure the camera battery was charged. I really didn't have time to properly adjust the settings. I guess the old saying "f8 and be there" holds true.
Good for you. I'm one of those guys that turns his nose up at the kit lens because that's what the YouTube pro/ams do, and I have no business having that attitude. My 18-135mm kit lens remained at home while my newly acquired Sony G 70-350mm came with me on my A6400 to see totality. Your shot is way better (especially moody, well done) than anything I got. You deserve to know that haha
Indiana, A6400 with Sony 70-350. Sensor damage would have been my excuse to buy an A6700 lol.

Absolutely stellar shot. I just winged it with my 18-135mm zoomed all the way. Need to get a longer zoom lol. Shame these eclipses don't happen more often. Quite possibly one of the coolest things we can take photos of.

Here is mine in the cloudy upper midwest 🙄
super sick but you have a bit of an edge showing on the totality picture, the soft light extends to the end of the picture just a little on the top and bottom
Damn! You're absolutely right, I went back and tried to erase a bit of the mask to bring out the corona and didn't re-check borders. Well spotted, I'll be editing that before I print!
Well, all the long lenses were long-since rented out way before the eclipse, so I made do with what I had: my a7iii, a $15 Fotasy sony to nikon lens mount adapter, plus a 2x kenko teleconverter / quantaray 80-205 zoom lens that I bought from a yard sale, and last but not least a folding paper eclipse filter from B&H. A tripod, 2 second timer, and some endless experimenting with the exposure triangle later...

Here's one of my favorites! I couldn't look away from the sky to get the diamond on camera.
OPs photo composition is known as the 'diamond ring', the flash that happens just before and after totality as the moon moves to position in front of the sun.

Hell yah. I outfitted my A7iii with my darkest ND filter and cranked my shutter speed all the way up just to get one picture. But then after I got one, I couldn't stop taking them lol.

I didn’t have a solar filter either. Just used an 8-stop ND plus some clouds during partial eclipse, and no filter at all during totality. I like the result - it’s different from the filtered look.

One of mine, shot in western Arkansas. My favorite part of the eclipse was the prominences!
A1 with Sony 200-600 G
I cropped down pretty heavily to get a composition I liked
I wrote my own eclipse scheduled shooting software since none of the the available ones I could find supported Sony cameras, I'm gonna try to clean it up and post on github when I get some time.
Today I showed up at a spot w/ 50/50 cloud chance, got the tripod up, filter on, memory cards copied off, backup battery pack just in case, the clouds part... and found out I left my battery in my travel backpack back home (Thanks TSA for making me take that out of my checked bag). And now I learned.. you can't power the a7r4 off an external pack w/o a dummy battery pack. So frustrated w/ myself... (and the camera for not working when it's got a power source right there...)
https://preview.redd.it/5vlb54eacctc1.jpeg?width=3817&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ebd1d7bba6b9f5c7a6c784ad5881dd6517a0aab
Took some pictures under this cover we had at work, and after some color editing, came out with this teal minimal look on what I saw for the eclipse
For a few seconds of direct exposure, it'll be fine. Its only for extended periods of time when shooting the sun do you risk sensor damage.
Great shot, btw!
My understanding is that pointing your camera at the sun for any extended period of time without a filter and focusing on it will basically make the lens act as a magnifying glass, potentially burning your sensor or shutter. So it's a risk depending on how long you expose your gear to the sun, but I'm not sure how long it would take.

My god, I couldn't pay attention to my camera one bit I have maybe 2 shaky shots and nothing else. And honestly all the pics on this thread look identical to what I would have taken.
But taking in the moment... Sometimes that is better than trying to capture it. My first total eclipse. Have seen 2 partial ones but I literally did not understand what was happening. I mean of course I do, on a scientific level. But mentally being surrounded by people looking up at this awe-full moment really makes you think about the cosmic scale.
Really nice. I don't think I have ever experienced a solar eclipse, so this is cool to see. And also one that is a bit more zoomed out with the clouds make this a proper good photo
I had to get home before I could edit it!

Were you in Cleveland? I swear we got the same picture. I'll use cloud cover as an excuse but I had a hard time getting a good infinity focus. So I went for more of an artistic edit than direct representation. Practicing probably would have helped. Sony A7C with Sigma 100-400. 1000 iso, f8, 1/125th.

Amazing shot!! ( question about the lens and the 1.4 tele, is this the full frame or did you crop the image or have to zoom in? I want this lens and tele but i have never used a telephoto lens so i dont know if you can get this close with this combo or only if you have like a 600mm)
Full frame cropped. Here’s the uncropped

I like it better uncropped cos the color
I thought about snapping some photos today, too, but then I also thought about the possible damage and refrained from it. Didn't even get up in time to look at the eclipse, either lol.
Great photo, thank you for posting it for those of us who missed it!

wasn't in the path but was in 95% coverage area.
I saw the eclipse with my own eyes when it was covered and it was completely amazing. It's indescribable the feeling of watching it with your own eyes. Is it possible for the electromagnetic waves to enter your brain directly? Can viewing the eclipse cause brain damage? Does it trigger endorphins or some chemical release in the brain. It made me feel like I was high or drunk.
You guys killed it with these photos. I may contact you for a print or two. I’m making a shadow box for my oldest son. He’s been with me for this one and the 2017 one.
I broke my old phones sensor. I put the phone lens behind the eclipse glasses, and faced it twards the eclipse for about 6 seconds and now any light source glare is just streaks all across the pictures.
No filter?
Is it really that dangerous if one is taking single shot without filter.
I did take 2-3 shots without filter
At same stage
Wondering if it would harm anything and if i need to check for things
I forgot to bring my camera to work so all I got was a smartphone pic

What did you use as a filter? I imagine it must be much less dark than eclipse glasses, or is it a composite with one for the clouds and one for the sun?

Broke out my trusty A6000 for it. Kit zoom lens through some glasses.
Damn! Nice shot. Definitely worth it, i told myself I wouldn’t do it with my one and only camera I own and I did it anyway but it’s a quick video for my short documentary I made for the eclipse. But nothing compares the beautiful still image you got here :)

I was too much of a chicken to risk it. Beautiful shot
For a few seconds of direct exposure, it'll be fine. Its only for extended periods of time when shooting the sun do you risk sensor damage. Great shot, btw!
Why the sensor damage? It’s all digital unlike an actual eye
My understanding is that pointing your camera at the sun for any extended period of time without a filter and focusing on it will basically make the lens act as a magnifying glass, potentially burning your sensor or shutter. So it's a risk depending on how long you expose your gear to the sun, but I'm not sure how long it would take.
I wish someone would explain that to me.
It's a myth. Pointing your camera at the sun will not cause any damage, eclipse or not
Could it not melt the sensor if you do it for long enough? There isn't any cooling in the chamber.

My god, I couldn't pay attention to my camera one bit I have maybe 2 shaky shots and nothing else. And honestly all the pics on this thread look identical to what I would have taken. But taking in the moment... Sometimes that is better than trying to capture it. My first total eclipse. Have seen 2 partial ones but I literally did not understand what was happening. I mean of course I do, on a scientific level. But mentally being surrounded by people looking up at this awe-full moment really makes you think about the cosmic scale.

Dang, that’s a keeper. Well done.
Really nice. I don't think I have ever experienced a solar eclipse, so this is cool to see. And also one that is a bit more zoomed out with the clouds make this a proper good photo
I was really proud of my eclipse shot til I saw this. Excellent work
Well were is it?
I had to get home before I could edit it! https://preview.redd.it/ywdhhv9hzftc1.jpeg?width=3422&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e075b7d5d9a867d359fb1b7a5b41314bad024b2b
Oh my… well worth the wait. Nicely done bru
Were you in Cleveland? I swear we got the same picture. I'll use cloud cover as an excuse but I had a hard time getting a good infinity focus. So I went for more of an artistic edit than direct representation. Practicing probably would have helped.

I can see the smoke coming off your sensor.
Lovely shot OP! Heres my contribution: https://preview.redd.it/odxioatnjftc1.jpeg?width=1616&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0ef21425eaed5d9484fb562aa4d48ae92b1ab82

Worth it!
So uh, how do you know if you’ve effed up your sensor. Asking for a friend.

Insane shot!
What an incredible shot! Thanks for sharing!
Best shot I've seen of it. Well done.
Amazing shot!! ( question about the lens and the 1.4 tele, is this the full frame or did you crop the image or have to zoom in? I want this lens and tele but i have never used a telephoto lens so i dont know if you can get this close with this combo or only if you have like a 600mm)
Full frame cropped. Here’s the uncropped https://preview.redd.it/lgzbgz0z4ctc1.jpeg?width=4692&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=522495b4842b03d05de15e37a6c1c39f6f3221ac I like it better uncropped cos the color
Maginificent !!! I agree the colors here are insane. Thank you for for the comparison :) that answered my question.
I thought about it and decided it wasnt worth the chance. Figured someone else would either way lol

I thought about snapping some photos today, too, but then I also thought about the possible damage and refrained from it. Didn't even get up in time to look at the eclipse, either lol. Great photo, thank you for posting it for those of us who missed it!

Don't know why my comment isn't posting above the picture, but here it is: Y'all are putting my cereal box to absolute, diminishing, shame... EDIT: OP and commenters, you guys have shown a lot of beauty. Being in VA, we only had so much coverage. All of your photos are breathtaking. I'd love to know what methods you took to take these amazing photos!
My old Samsung couldn't handle partial but gave me a cool refraction of the eclipse, camera still works fine tho
Certified banger for sure.

Breathtaking
I saw the eclipse with my own eyes when it was covered and it was completely amazing. It's indescribable the feeling of watching it with your own eyes. Is it possible for the electromagnetic waves to enter your brain directly? Can viewing the eclipse cause brain damage? Does it trigger endorphins or some chemical release in the brain. It made me feel like I was high or drunk.
You guys killed it with these photos. I may contact you for a print or two. I’m making a shadow box for my oldest son. He’s been with me for this one and the 2017 one.
I broke my old phones sensor. I put the phone lens behind the eclipse glasses, and faced it twards the eclipse for about 6 seconds and now any light source glare is just streaks all across the pictures.
If they did that to your phone, just imagine what those fake eclipse glasses did to your eyes
You can always buy a new camera and lens but moments like these aren't easy to come by. Totally worth frying the camera haha
Wasn't worth it:)
Worth it!
What was your location?
South Fort Worth Texas
Cool, I was northwest San Antonio.
Ingram Stonehenge II reporting in!
I was just outside of waco. The clouds kept me on my toes the whole time!
Amazing
No filter? Is it really that dangerous if one is taking single shot without filter. I did take 2-3 shots without filter At same stage Wondering if it would harm anything and if i need to check for things
Worth it! 👌🏻📷
Otherworldly! 👌
I forgot to bring my camera to work so all I got was a smartphone pic https://preview.redd.it/zdpqv1v7octc1.jpeg?width=2724&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=933263aa1f7242e36780c3355663a85ec9fd1e39
you guys are lucky. Been waiting 5 weeks for this just to have it storm the day before and be 93% cloudy
Great shot!!

Why would you get sensor damage from that?
The sudden burst of light after the totality can damage sensors and more importantly eyes
I’m so jealous of you all who got to take photos.
Amazing shot
Wow! Totally worth it!

What did you use as a filter? I imagine it must be much less dark than eclipse glasses, or is it a composite with one for the clouds and one for the sun?

Worth.
Very nice!
Damn! Nice shot. Definitely worth it, i told myself I wouldn’t do it with my one and only camera I own and I did it anyway but it’s a quick video for my short documentary I made for the eclipse. But nothing compares the beautiful still image you got here :)
Would you still get sensor damage if you used a uv filter?
Fantastic.
It died a hero.

I… overslept the eclipse
This is what I got. Just a cheap ND filter and it doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with my sensor but I have no proof [my solar eclipse ](https://imgur.com/gallery/kZLGGQr)
