Photographers throughout the U. S. will get a rare treat this upcoming August 21: a total solar eclipse visible throughout a significant part of the country, the first of its kind to affect the nation from coast-to-coast since 1918.
Ahead of the celestial event comes a new blog from Canon titled 'A Total Guide to Totality. ' In it, photographers will find a library of articles detailing how to prepare for and photograph the solar eclipse.
As explained by Space. com recently, the upcoming solar eclipse will be visible to the general American public across a region spanning from the coast of Oregon to the coast of South Carolina. Canon details this and more in one of its new educational articles, as well as providing info on choosing the right lenses and the right cameras to photograph the event.
Overall, the blog is no doubt slanted toward Canon's own array of products, but the information is applicable to all photographers regardless of which brand they use. The articles on the blog are co-authored by photographer Dave Henry and Canon Explorer of Light Ken Sklute. In addition to the blog, Canon is planning to offer eclipse photography workshops in July, though full details aren't available at this time.
