Hi All, on Wednesday this week Cairns is going to experience a solar eclipse. I thought I'd try to document it on my iPhone. Just wish I had a telephoto lens for my phone.
Good luck with your documentary Aaron, look forward to seeing the results here...
Have you got a telescope or pair of binoculars you can tripod mount and focus the iPhone through, it is an excellent way to add telephoto to your iPhone...
Have you tried photographing through a telescope or binoculars? I once photographed through a microscope with my iphone. It was hard and it did not look great but with some patience and practice I believe it could look almost alright.
Fantastic lucky you ! Well done !Elijah and I were up at 5 am this morning to catch the eclipse. We got to the beach, only too find that the sky was cloudy.
Fortunately the sky cleared for the big event.
Unfortunately I didn't get to take many photos between making sure my son wasn't staring at the sun and the wonder of being able to watch a eclipse with welding like classes.
If you ever get a chance to see a solar eclipse, I highly recommend it.
I used my special eclipse souvenir classes as a filter on the dark one, with digital zoom.

I put a black dot on the sun using Photoforge, lol. Sorry I cheated. iPhone's and eclipses aren't that great. Maybe if I had a telescope or something to attach the phone to.Wow cool, the eclipse in nr 2 looks like it's been created with a special effects app
