How to shoot an annular eclipse?

1, photographers can also use the compass and arm for simple planning. First, query the position of the sun at the observation site during the eclipse, and then find this position with the compass. At this time, the orientation of the tripod can be roughly determined. Then use the arm to estimate the path angle of the sun during the whole eclipse. You can straighten your arms and open your thumb and little finger. When you look at them from your eyes, the angle of view formed by these two fingers is about 25 degrees.

The whole eclipse takes about two and a half hours, and the path of the sun is about 37.5 degrees. Next, adjust the elevation angle of the mobile phone so that the screen of the mobile phone can completely cover the path of the sun, and finally fix the bracket.

3. When shooting, you need to use the "delayed shooting" function to automatically shoot one at a certain time, and finally you can form a fast-forward video. Different mobile phones have different time-lapse photography settings. Some mobile phones can set shooting parameters, such as aperture, shutter and shooting interval, which is very convenient to shoot. It is worth noting that some mobile phones will interrupt the delayed shooting because of incoming calls. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a mobile phone that will not interrupt the time-delay shooting, or adjust the mobile phone to flight mode during shooting to avoid interference during shooting.
