5 Things to LCapture the Total Solar Eclipseook For
The phenomenon is rare total solar eclipse will occur in a number of Indonesian provinces. For the traveler who wants to immortalize this moment, always know the following 5 things.

Perpetuate the phenomenon of a total solar eclipse certainly requires some preparation and not arbitrary. Preparation course will support the traveler to be able to take photos of the eclipse was perfect. Remember, this is a rare moment that is very rare.
Launched detikTravel of Southern Sky astronomy sites, Wednesday (03/02/2016) The following are five important things to note before perpetuate the total solar eclipse in the sky Indonesia:
1. Consider the composition of photos
To get a picture of the eclipse was good and not boring, a traveler can enter into the composition of the photo. For example, you can enter the foreground in the form of beach with granite rocks on Belitung, or Bridge Four when photographing in the city of Palu.
Dimunculkannya city landmarks as the foreground when the sky blackened total eclipse will certainly provide a dramatic photo effects and natural without artificial. Traveler can also give the impression of darkness that occurs when a total eclipse occurs.
But it would not hurt as well if you want to focus on photographing the eclipse without foreground. But the compositions are still needed, if you want to position the eclipse in the middle or the edge of the camera frame.
2. Know the types of cameras that can be used
Previous note, that any kind of camera can be used to photograph a total solar eclipse. It applies to analog cameras still use negative roll up digital camera that uses an electronic sensor such as a camera phone to a special CCD astronomy.
For users of analog cameras needs to be known, that the phenomenon of total eclipse will only happen so quickly for a few minutes. The capacity of analog cameras that have only 24 to 36 negative film roll can be a limitation when it comes to replacing a roll of film that takes time, even if the results are not lost.
to the use of digital cameras, also know the advantages and disadvantages of cameras used. Starting from a technical point of each camera to any format you want to use, whether JPEG or RAW that has the size and quality of each. Be sure to also bring a lot of memory as a precaution.
3. Set up filters the sun
When the total solar eclipse reached its peak, a traveler is able to view and photograph the eclipse with the naked eye and conventional lens. But if you want to take the whole phase of the eclipse from beginning to end, would need a solar filter.
Technically, sun filter serves as a protective and work to reduce the intensity of sunlight that illuminates the eye and the camera lens. Examples sun filter ND5 type which has a reduction ratio of intensities of 1: 100,000. So 100,000 light intensity, only one can be exceeded.
Traveler must also be selective in the material of the lens sun. Make sure only to use filters with glass material coated metal, plastic silver Mylar, Black Polymer, or resin-coated metal for eye safety.
For recommendations using flter Off-Axis and Full Aperture. Both filters are placed in front of the optical telescope or camera lensa to filter the sunlight before it caught the eye. But keep in mind that filters Full Aperture is more expensive than Off-Axis requiring further setting.
4. Do not forget the tripod
Like a shooting star or scene at night, of course, a traveler would require a tripod to capture the moment of a total solar eclipse is focused and stable. Also make sure you use a tripod with a good material to prevent camera shake.
These rare moments occurred for hundreds of years. Do not let the photo moment of the eclipse should be ruined by the wobble occurs when the photo is taken. Not to regret in the end.
5. Understand the phases of the eclipse from beginning to end
Rules in photography mentions, do some research before shooting was the object of the photo you want immortalized in order to get the best results. It also needs to do before shooting moment of a total solar eclipse to determine the viewing angle and good exposure.
The first phase is a partial eclipse, the moment in which the moon disk first touches the disk of the sun. At this moment you can memoret moment at which the sun covered in part like a crescent moon. Certainly need to use sun filters.
Then towards the total phase, a time when the moon began to cover the solar disk that happens in a matter of seconds. At this moment the sun will begin to close and emnampilkan corona light rings are shiny like.
Then the total phase and the solar corona where the sky will be covered by the twilight blackened. Although not as dark as the night sky, but the process will be quick as when the sun rises and sets. When it use the technique of multiple exposures to capture different moments to put together later.
Lastly is the total phase which is the climax of a total solar eclipse. In that phase would seem Diamond Ring Effect and Daily's Bead will be a second chance if not satisfied at the earliest opportunity.
Ultimately knowledge of the camera and the total eclipse phase will be very influential on the images to be obtained. Remember, practice model makes perfect. Good luck to capture the moment of the eclipse as well as possible.
