I didn't make any preparations so when it came time, I picked up my iPhone and made this;

My eyes are fine using the negatives, did same many years ago during total eclipse over Manila.

I ended up putting aluminum foil over my lens, cutting a hole in it the shape of one of the lenses of my eclipse glasses, then taping the glasses lens over the hole. Got a few decent shots, but with some distortion. I don't think the glasses lens was down smooth on my camera lens.

The news did an article a few days before the eclipse, interviewing a man who suffered retinal damage when he viewed an eclipse as a teenager using just a few negatives as a shield. He has lived with eye damage for nearly half a century.
