My middle son has six kids. They are all homeschooled and far more educated and behaved than public school children.

We are due to see the upcoming total eclipse soon. I am interested in getting a few shots of it. I have no knowledge concerning the filter required to do this. I don't wont to spend a lot of money since this will probably be a one time thing. I would appreciate any advise or information. Thanks.

Sam


You have some good advice and links offered. As your neighbor in Grand Prairie, we are right in total path so it will be really a good opportunity to photo it.
Look in the Astro section and there is a lot of goof information there including my posts that showed how I made mine for the two cameras I used on the last we had, the annular one.
I bought an 8x11 inch sheet of solar film and made mine. My objective was to be able to quickly and easily pull it off during totality and then slide it back on as the sun starts reappearing.
If you are using one camera this is the best way and easiest.
See me examples, I only posted a few for you to get an idea what I did and very cheap to make.
The solar film looks like it has stuff on it but that is actually just reflections.
Start early because there will be a demand on solar stuff as we get closer to April.

OMG LMAO!!


I have seen the numerous replies about IQ and I had NO IDEA this subject would come up on my simple post.
But, now I must question:
Who determines IQ and based on what ?

I have in my life seen people with college degrees and have paper all over the wall but still stupid as shit.
But when one is stupid they do not know they are stupid and think others are because they do not think like them.
Just educated fools who lack open objective thinking on their own.
Oh well, lookie lookie, how many pages now ?? we having fun yet ya'll.

Sir Bruce tha loose, let's keep it real folks.

Admin is keeping an eye on this thread. I got a message from Admin that one of my posts had been removed. My post was a very short response expressing agreement with another post that apparently had wandered into politics.

I was not aware of any political talk at the time and, with both posts now gone, I can't remember what it was about. But I'm glad Admin is keeping an eye on things.


I too am glad the admin is monitoring this.
I too have had a reply deleted and I was not thinking it was political but replying to a reply on one of the treads somewhere.
I saw some replies and comments that were out right political in comments.
I was going to reply and thank to member for sending us the attic.

I came in Saturday afternoon and saw an email the post had been moved to the attic. Well yea I saw that coming too.
I wrote the admin and apologized and not to Please hold this against me. It was not my intention for this post to spiral out like it did.
I made at three comments to replies that there is a forum they own for politics and this is where the members should go and play there.
Political statements are forbidden all across UHH. But hey ? Some cannot help themselves.

Later I noticed my post had been cleaned up and moved back to chit-chat.
I respect and thank the admin for doing this for the members sake so they can play around in here.

It only takes ONE COMMENT to start a chain reaction.

Well at least I hope I brought some fun and entertainment with this post.

You make it sound as if The Attic and General Chit-Chat are the only choices on this photography forum. There are currently more than 50 sections.

If you venture out those two non-photography sections you will find quite a few talented photographers - many of whom may be geezer age, but they still have a lot to offer the rest of us.

Chit-Chat is dominated by topics created by Jerry (some are entertaining, some are informative), while The Attic is dominated by five personalities whose lives apparently consist of insulting other participants.

Thank you for the insight Linda.
I did not stay in the attic so I do not know about the over all contents but the brief, and I mean brief minute I was there just looking I could see the pattern.
So, the good thing is there is a place these topics can reside so members can play all they want with out cluttering up this section.
I must say that the members here have been OVER OVERWHELMINGLY GRACIOUS and HELPFUL when I needed some help either with photo processing, questions needing help, etc.
So, the attic is a place that at least is a play ground for those who want to do that.
My pennies worth this morning.

The Attic is hardly serious, but occasionally some desire a Mensa Meeting and that's usually good for a laugh.


I was a Mensa member back in the mid 1970's but since screwing around in UHH and just living in this world since then, I am now still mentally aware but feel like an alien on my own planet.

Hey, we're just goofing a bit and nothing on the Hogg is worth too much serious thought! Keep smiling!

My, oh my, lol! Why don't you go back and read my original words and subsequent posts. I simply made a subtle point that she wrongly stated that it was "boys at play" when in fact some of the players are non-males. If you feel that things are spiraling out of control and you find my post unsettling, I don't know what to recommend that you do.


I was just heading out and saw the reply on my email. I will do that later today when I return. Honestly Dave, I do not recall or even know if I read them all. I was just so surprised at the replies. If I came across weird, I apologize.
I just wish I had never posted this thing in first place.
Peace out bro,

Not all active Attic participants are male, so your thanks is clouded.

Self-righteousness is typically quite amusing and imminently qualifies many to be Attic respondents.

Many are still sleeping and can not identify the enemy . “We have met the enemy..." Oliver Perry.


What are you talking about ?
My thanks IS not clouded.
I used Linda's reply because it was short and I knew it would not generate a lot of crap replies. At least I hoped it would not.
I respect her very much.
I know there are women in there and that was not even in my mind.
Why don't you go back and read the original words.
I simply made a comment on the attic after poking my head in there briefly. Period !
If I know the post would spiral out of control and get all kinds of stupid and political comments, I never would have done it. Lesson learned on me.
That was not at all my point. Deal with Dave.

Thank you for your agreement.
I experienced The Attic once when I choose to explain a point. I learned very quickly about the Attic. I even gave my rendition and observation of the Attic a few pages back. In actuality I choose not to argue religion or politics. I prefer to keep my opinions to myself and most certainly remain a cranky old coot!


Hahahhaha, well, you cranky old coot I like you that way and have always respected your replies all over this forum.
Yea, arguing resolves nothing especially on UHH. IF someone wants to have a curious debate or conversation then it needs and should go off the main forum. I used to fire back at smart remarks and stuff but now I do not waste my time, I just ignore them. Man oh man, 11 pages now !!!! woohoo are we having fun yet ?

The Admin of the UHH forum (whomever they may be) decides what can be evocative enough to send (or drag) the thread and/or the author to the attic. This is because this forum should be friendly enough for all to enjoy. Many times the anonymity of the internet allows people to become crude and rude. I prefer enjoying my bus ride to work or my lunch hour to read something amusing or enlightening. I do not want to exchange a lengthy diatribe. I do find certain posters well worthy of remaining on a buddy list.

However, I would like to gain some insight as to whom our Admin actually is. Perhaps it is one of our regular posters. I just wish I could give him or her a heartfelt “Thank You!”

Yea Steven, I agree, I do not want to waste my time arguing that goes nowhere. A debate that I can learn something is good for me. When I made this post I had no idea it would spin out like this or I would not have gone it. I was just sharing an quick and very brief observation.
I read this past year from a member here the admin(s) are actually a woman or two women, I do not know.
The admin(s) also host another forum forum for political topics, it looks like UHH in design. I am not interested in it myself but from the stuff I see om this thread, some folks should be there.
Happy Friday bro.

Actually TWO more.
My daughter-in-law saw a shirt with rabbits on it that she really liked and though I wanted to paint one like it for her, I had to change it quite a bit so as not to be copying someone else's design. I meant to show it as well and last night, she asked if I ever did. Glad she reminded me. I really enjoyed painting that one.
There are no brown streaks on the back of the shirt. Those are shadows made by the folds.

The other one is one like I used to paint for customers, with their horses, dogs, cats or whatever they wanted in the Tic Tac Toe squares.

you are so right. Three things most wars have been fought over and for: Money, religion and women!


Robert, you said the truth based on history. I started to write this but since you brought up the though I will jump in and add that from my experience, so many people define themselves by belief systems they do not even understand.
When it especially comes to religion and politics, these are two heart felt belief systems so many people define themselves by and it becomes emotional over rational thinking when challenged or questioned about their beliefs and the things they do and even vote.
So we see this openly here on UHH. Just look at the treads about this camera model over that camera model. RAW vs. JPEG. Wow wee do have some fun here.
Let's keep it real.Bruce.
