Thanks useful information: 2
Hey guys i am heading to Cairns to shoot the Solar Eclipse and want to ask what settings i should use.
I have a Nikon D3s with a 300f2.8 lens and a 2x TC and Thousand Oaks solar filter.
I intend to set the camera to 1.5 crop mode and set it to shoot Jpeg on the no 1 card and Raw on the 2nd card.
ISO at 200
I am going to bracket it with 5 shots, 2 under 1 even and 2 over.
Question,,,, i am unsure what white balance to use.
Any help would be appreciated.
It would be worth heading to the Iceinspace astro site www.iceinspace.com.au , you'll find lots of info there.
If your shooting RAW , Leave it on AWB and adjust later in PP if you need to
Canon : 30D, and sometimes the 5D mkIII , Sigma 10-20, 50mm 1.8, Canon 24-105 f4 L , On loan Sigma 120-400 DG and Canon 17 - 40 f4 L , Cokin Filters
White Balance would depend on the conditions on the day. Cloudy, sunny etc. There is not a setting we could tell you that would be accurate all of the time. So agree with the above, use auto while balance.
