I'm projecting it on a piece of paper using a pair of googles. The light has changed a lot, it feels strange.

oh... that IS pretty cool. but I was refering to this: "The light has changed a lot, it feels strange.".

Yeah right. I bet you're some old sage and you know how light used to be thousands of years ago, but now the sun is burning out, or being corrupt by evil vile alien stuff and it feels strange and you find it alarming and humanity will end soon if a hero doesn't rise to protect us!

If you don't have stuff to protect your eyes, and if you don't want to destroy your eyes, yes, that's how you watch an eclipse

You can still use a shoebox, or anything you can pierce a pinhole in.

And for those who don't know, don't use regular sunglasses or the hole of a cd.

pointing the camera at the sun looking at the display should work i think

Terrible idea. It's going to do to your sensor what it would do to your eyes it you looked at it directly.

really? so i need a special sun filter to take pics of the sun? i'm going to try out now. maybe RIP iphone :D hopefully finally ^^
Edit: works well, camera still works. took a few pics
Comment has been collapsed.
Using a filter to protect is a good idea, yes.
...Unless you don't mind causing irreversible damage to your sensor, in which case you can simply make a few shots with very high speed and low aperture.

You're phone camera won't be affected the same way as your eye would... you can use it, look it up.

So far it's just as dark as any cloudy day here.
Also the stream isn't always available, guess they didn't expect the high server load.

Well, looked at it with bare eyes - could see that its not totally circural shaped
Picked up welding mask - yup, smth like 10% of upper right corner is "cut off"

And its all gone very quiet in the woods where i work, not one animal or bird making a sound.

I don't plan on watching it directly unless I want to end up like this.

It's very cloudy here. Couldn't enjoy the eclipse. But the day got darker though.

I feel for you. Been waiting for this for a long time and it was clear this entire week except today! I hate our weather sometimes.

Thanks for your compassion :) It has been sunny until this very morning (I'm living in south France). I guess I'll just have to wait for the news to see it.
Just by curiosity, where are you from ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Southern Finland. The eclipse would have been near full so even more the reason to be disappointed missing out on it. It's not like you see eclipses everyday.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep. In France, the eclipse has been around 60%. And the next one will be in 2081...

I'd like to see it, but it's a partial one here in south Italy plus I don't have any equiment to look at it and I don't want to get a toasty retina, I already wear glasses >_>

About looking directly at an eclipse... how is this worse than just normally looking directly at the sun on a typical day? You don't see people all around warning against looking at the sun :-P.
Comment has been collapsed.
i think the warnings refer to several minutes looking into the sun not just really quick. the same with the smartphones. it seems that short time is ok, but now i read that for longer it will affect the camera sensor like DavidSarif said
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not worse, as far as I know. Just equally bad, and people will forget it's a very bad idea on such an occasion (and actually have an interest in looking), that's why you need to remind them that they should not do it.

cant see shit here...when I look up the sky all I see are the clouds,welp
Comment has been collapsed.
Same, clouds during eclipse whose idea was that...
Comment has been collapsed.
It would too cloudy to see it from where I was. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Same as many other people, couldn't see it because it's kinda cloudy here.
The sky got really dark and I though it was going to rain, but then I realized the eclipse was happening :)
Comment has been collapsed.
It's funny to see how many people have a cloudy day. Maybe the sun has been to shy to reveal itself. Or maybe it's a potato conspiracy to rule the world...

I saw it perfectly here in Budapest.
It was hard to photograph with a smartphone but looked great through some welding glasses.

Awesome.
Holland is covered in fog atm, at least my city is.
Couldnt see shit.

I made a hole in a cardboard and used it as camera obscura. The view is upside down but worth it anyway.

I protected the sun from the moon's nasty tricks. =]

Too cloudy D:
It just got a bit dark, no big deal. The birds got very confused though.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's happening right now, so are you especially sitting/standing in front of your window to watch it, watching the livestream or you think big deal?
