Hello all,

I am a budding photography enthusiast and have recently got my self a Nikon D5100 camera and am fortunate enough to be heading to Cairns for the Total Solar Eclipse!!

I have been practicing at home taking photos of the sun with ND filters and playing with different shutter speeds and aperture settings for when I am taking photos of the partial stage of the eclipse.

Does anyone out there have any helpful tips and/or specific camera settings that should be used to best capture the totality stage, how to best capture the diamond ring effect and the corona of the Sun etc??

Any advice on photography of a solar eclipse would be much appreciated!!
