If you want to take pictures of a solar eclipse (日食) with your mobile phone, your big shot is coming up on April 8 local time. You’ll be able to catch a total eclipse in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. An eclipse is among the most challenging things to photograph, you don’t get many chances. But with the right preparation, you can still take pretty good pictures.
Get a tripod (三脚架). The steadiness of a tripod is especially important if you are taking video of the event, but even if you’re going for photos, a tripod will help prevent the blurriness (模糊强度) of a handheld shot. Eclipses don’t happen every day, so you don’t want to mess it up by going handheld.
To get a perfect shot, plan and practice in advance. The un-eclipsed sun has the same brightness as the edges of the sun that will appear during an eclipse. You can use that to adjust your filter (滤镜) and the exposure and focus settings on your phone. Don’t rely on your phone’s automatic settings. You want to go full manual here.
Avoid using damaged solar eclipse glasses. You can’t use regular sunglasses to view an eclipse safely. You should only use glasses that are specifically designed for solar eclipse viewing. If you have an old pair of eclipse viewing glasses, make sure they’re fully intact. If they’re damaged in any way, just throw them out.
Take pictures of more than just the eclipse. The eclipse is the main event, but photographing everything around the eclipse might result in more interesting shots. Some ideas: Take photos that highlight the changing nature of the light as the big moment approaches. Take pictures of the people you’re watching the eclipse with. Take a selfie with the eclipse in the background. Take some shots of the wonder on your child’s face as they watch the sun disappear.
