DO NOT forget a proper solar filter. Otherwise, you will ruin your sensor.
And your eyes if you are not careful.

As someone above said, I have used and like Baader solar film. You can buy it from several astronomical online stores. You can go to Baader direct as well. I bought the film and then made my own filter using glued together strips of card board to fit around the lens. Attached is a photo I took in June 5, 2012 of the Venus transit. The camera was a Canon Rebel XTi, Canon 75-300 lens (at 300mm) with a off brand 2x teleconverter.

Thanks! I notice the gulls coming close the day before but busy with photographing sunrise. I took some time to keep an eye on the birds the next day.

I was photographing the sunrise at Bethany Beach, DE. The birds are quite active at dawn. The gulls were fairly close and I caught this guy with my Canon 90D and Canon 8-135 lens.

Thanks all. The old adage that the best camera for a photo is the one you have with you.

This is one of my best and favorite photos. I took this on October 31, 2015 using a Nikon 610. I was fortunate with the time of day and weather.

Beset is if you are tracking Mars. If not you probably won’t get much. If you have a tracking mount then you need to take a bunch of images and then use a stacking software to combine to get a sharp but small image.

Welcome. I am a Canon photographer as well. I have a 90D and a M50 which I use mainly for travel. I like to shoot landscapes wildlife and dawn and sunset skies.

We had a guy who gave a presentation at our camera club talking about “images “ for competition in which he took a basic photo then added fog and a bird. He considered it like painting. I do not like that. I think it is ok to use processing on an image but added all that extra stuff, not for me.

Great photos. I really like the second photo looking through the window. I am going to use it as inspiration for a painting.

I did the inland waterway
cruise last June. It was great. I took both my Canon 90D and M50 plus lenses. I am glad I did. Take your Nikon. Also make sure to take a travel tripod, you will want it. Make sure you have a long lens to capture wildlife especially eagles and whales.
