One advantage of the cell phone, or maybe disadvantage is, due to the smallish sensor the lens is of a shortish focal length therefore giving you a greater dof so evert thing is in focus.

That would explain her facial expression:)

As mentioned before, The Baader AstroSolar (tm.) Safety film is the most economical way to go. It renders the sun in it's truest color. I got a sheet through B&H, I think. One sheet is enough to make a filter to fit over a large lens hood, to cover a pair of binoculars and have enough to make a pair of glasses.

The Orion Solar Filter that I have, cost about $80.00 was to dark to make a proper exposure.

Also mentioned was the use of ND filters. I used a ten and three stop stack to photograph the Transit of Venus. It worked ok. but I do not recommend using this method.

A welding lens, a number 16 or higher? will also work but with a color cast

Transit of Venus "The Tear Drop"

Why such high iso value and why such short time value?

The one set of "catch lights" are painted on to the eyes of the mannequin.

I see, moving the exposure slider down the crop/straighten grid will then show up as white. So move the exposure slider "all the way over" to the negative and the crop grid lines appear as white.

You are confusing mega pixels with mega bytes and dots per inch with pixels per inch. If you whant your photos to have more mega bytes then convert your jpg to tiff.

I don't believe people are still talking about this photo. It is simply out of focus. Nothin more, nothing less.

Perhaps the size of your fount is to small, so small that the letters look like a line?

I thought that the foil pouch, wrapper that the film is packed in will protect it from x-ray fogging. It is the opened and exposed but not yet processed film that may be fog by x-ray exposure.

Dress warm:)

If I need a wheel, I would buy one, they do not cost that much:)

For stars, star trail or meteors, I have used, open 20 seconds with one second between exposures. 17-35 mm lens, f2.8 @1600 iso. That should give you a good starting point.

This may be a dumb question, but is the speed light fully on the hot shoe. Some times when I am using a flash or trigger and things do not work or just don't make sense a firm push seats the flash and all is good:)

Well if is on a T shirt it must be true:)
