How the fuck do you take pics of the sun?
Any filter or is it just the 1/800s?
>> elf_man !!DdAnyoDMfCe

You let the camera meter off the sun.
Everything else will be underexposed, so make sure it's an effect you want, or get the sun off-frame.

Pic related.

1) Can't the sun burn some of the sensor's pixels?
2) Wouldn't the rest of the pic be VERY underexposed?
>> elf_man !!DdAnyoDMfCe

See my example. Yeah, very underexposed. As long as you expose for the sun, it won't fuck up your sensor, since it isn't overloading anything.

LiveView + Sun = ?
Perhaps better not to try. Guess+shoot, then adjust.

umm, if life view is that the lcd shows the thing that it is gonna take a photo of, why should that be bad?
>> sage !i/euDJmWr2

take it for what its worth because Ive never used liveview and don't know much about it, but;

I'm assuming the mirror locks up when in liveview so the sensor is exposed directly to the image. since it wouldnt automatically be exposed for the sun, it might burn the pixels.

as i don't use an slr it means that i should not try it :/

a bit offtopic: is there any filter that darkens the image on the light parts but NOT in the dark parts? would work like a "minus-contrast"-filter and it would provide a higher dynamic range.
im just wondering if there actually is such a filter

Sure there is, it's called a neural density filter. Screw it on the lens, and rotate it so that the darker portion of the filter is covering up the parts of the picture that's being over-exposed. Then take a picture.

More specifically, if you're going to do that you'd need an ND-Gradient. A normal ND filter is the same darkness over the entire filter.

Hmm, I knew that there are graduated ND-filters but I was asking for a filter that, you know, does that 'automatically'. Like there could be 3 very bright spots on the pic (lets say they are lightsources like a lamp or whatever) and the filter darkens that 3 spots more than it darkens the rest of the pic. That would result in a higher dynamic range. (or at least call it less contrast)

Btw, don't think that I'm stupid that I'm asking for this. I mean someone who doesn't know a CPL would not believe that there is such a filter.
Just like this, maybe there is a filter I don't know but that does what I explained.

Sounds like those glasses that darken and become sunglasses under strong light. I doubt it's possible with current technology though.
>> Butterfly !xlgRMYva6s
>>204744
I expect that to be perfectly feasable, just horrifically expensive.

Nothing is impossible.

kinda, the only problem would be that they wouldnt work if you used them like a filter in front of your lens =D

>>204747
yeah, i wouldnt think that something like this could be cheap

welding technology has such a device called speedglass,,darkening to a preset level as soon as the "arc" flashes.

OMG!!! HOW DIDZ YOU DO THE SHOWY HIDEY THING

Problem with that is that the glass would darken to suit the ambient lighting conditions over the whole filter, rather than darken on a tiny spot where the sun would appear on the sensor.

What about HDR post-processing?

well this non-existing filter is meant to be a way better alternative
