Wat time are you all looking at ?

 

[catchlights]

Eclipse begins at 2:23 AM on June 16, 2011

Total Eclipse begins at 3:22 AM
Total Eclipse ends at 5:03 AM

Eclipse ends at 6:02AM

Ok, please enlighten me,
if I want to shoot the whole eclipse, I need to set up the camera at the site and stay there for three and a half hours??

 

[tupac]

If you're shooting for the first time it's good to go early to take test shots to find your correct exposure. You will find as totality approaches you need to increase your exposure. Also, if your lens isn't good enough to give you a detailed view of the moon, you can try sequences.
I shot this years ago with a 200mm lens. The top and bottom row are taken at the same time with different exposures.

And this is almost a 100% crop with the 200mm lens. Not very pleasing as 200mm is not long enough.
