I have been practicing photographing the sun, with fairly good results. I am using Canon 100-400 with 1.4 X extender, Canon 70 D, the vari-angle touchscreen can be positioned for easy viewing. I have been getting good results using ISO 400, f8, 1/800, RAW with auto white balance, live view. I have not been able to see a sun spot on my photos. Just wondering how your settings compare to mine. I also have a question, will the filter have to be removed during the period of totality?
If your fortunate enough to be where there is Totality the answer would be yes. ONLY for the duration of Totality which depends on how close you get to the center of the track. It could be a couple minutes in the center but only a few seconds when off to either side a little!
