For those of you who couldn't view it, I tried my best to grab some pics. Probably could have gotten some better ones if i was better prepared. First I tried them with a single filter, but no shutter speed or ISO setting i tried was fast enough for the brightness. So i quickly added a second filter over the first to try and cut back some of the brightness. But it was setting fast, and quickly went behind the trees. So i umped into the truck and started to head up on the mountain, but quickly realized i would miss it entirely if I did that. Si I found a gap in the horizon between the trees, and tried again. Still had to mess with the ISO and shutter speed to get it some halfway decent pics, and this is the result.
Most of the glare, I believe, is from the dbl filters. A reflection from the inner one, hitting the outer one, and showing up on the pic. But all in all, you get the idea.
Using a Nikon D50, 500mm mirror lens with 2x and 4x sun filters, shutter speed 4000 and ISO 1600.
Like i said, probably could have done better if i was more prepared, but you get the idea. I still have a white dot in my eye everywhere i look. LOL
Thanks for looking!
