Re: Shooting the eclipse.
welding filters will not prevent eye damage to your eyes from the sun. use a solar filter designed for this. Orion mail order on line at: www.telescope.com is one source. there are others. also smoked glass which we learned about in school DOES NOT work. nor do the really intense strong ND filters by say B+W, the German filter company. surprisingly, these solar filters are pretty inexpensive. so put them at the front of the lens and shoot to your hearts content. lets keep away from going to the doctor with burned out blind spots in the eyes. not good for photographers.

I have heard that for a solar eclipse you must use a very deep filter. If
you go to a store that sells supplies for welding, get a visor used by arc
welders. It is virtually opaque, but the solar eclipse should be revealed.
It's also (so they say!) To look through it as well.
