If you're thinking of photographing the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, you're probably already getting geared up for the big day. So are we!
A note for first-timers: If you've never seen a total solar eclipse before, don't worry about photographing it. You'll need all the minutes of totality to absorb the surreal sight of a black "hole" in the sky where the Sun's supposed to be, surrounded by its ghostly white corona. Take in the 360-degree sunset on the horizon, and maybe even look for planets and stars around the eclipsed Sun. (Read our full guide to on what to look for, and when.)
That said, photographing the eclipse can bring its own kind of joy. It just takes a lot of preparation. In fact, if you're interested in photographing the upcoming eclipse, you've probably given it a lot of thought already. But in case you're looking for some last-minute advice, check out our article on framing eclipse photographs and this checklist for eclipse photographers.
