When I started to look for a solar filter for a 52MM, I couldn’t find one and didn’t worry about it.

I pointed my nearly dead droid phone and rolled a little. No filter though.

Come to think of it, I haven’t bothered to play it back. Oh well.

We had an astronomer at our little hometown party. Taking his o to heart, even solar glasses were sufficient protection for my little Nikon....plus I wore glasses, too.

I hope the stupid people who ruined those cameras were at least using the special glasses to view the solar eclispse, and didn’t go blind in one eye as well. You can always pay for a camera you broke. Not so with the eye.

I ask out of ignorance. I wonder why they just didn’t provide a solar filter with the lens rental, along with a sizable deposit.

Well who’d a thought! Thank you for the heads up because I really want to be in the next one. I took a couple of it through the cloud cover (80%) so I’m glad I didn’t fry my phone!

Today I received a KODAK PIXPRO SP360 4K for testing and review. :)

I got it set on top of my bicycle helmet. Will take it for a spin tomorrow. Supposed to be a nice weather day.
