4 Solar Photography iPhone Filters for Capturing an Eclipse

💡Make your home smart with these Alexa enabled connected devices

Total eclipses don’t happen regularly, so if you are ever in the path of totality, you should consider capturing everything on video. You can’t do so without a solar safe filter. You don’t damage your eyes without proper protection. As NASA explains:

The best thing to do is to cover the camera lens with a solar filter during the moments before (and after) totality when the sunlight is still blinding. This will eliminate sun blooming and give you a clear image of the solar disk. You can use one of those ISO-Certified sun-viewing glasses that will be available for eclipse viewing to cover the smartphone lens. DO NOT USE SUNGLASSES! 

Thanks to these 4 solar filters for iPhone & other cameras, you will be able to capture the sun on your smartphone like a pro:
