Normally, the opportunity to photograph a solar eclipse would have me preparing for days and traveling to a location in the path of totality. The tiny house project, however, has been all-consuming and when Kyle asked if we had any glasses or a way of safely viewing it, I sadly had to answer no. Determined to see the rare event, Kyle did a bit of internet research and constructed a pinhole camera from a cardboard box and aluminum foil. It worked perfectly despite efforts by his sister to spin him around and point him in the wrong direction. At the last minute, it occurred to me that I could stack several neutral density filters I own to create a 14-stop optical filter (this reduces the intensity of all wavelengths of light passing through it by 16,000 times). We shared this contraption to get a great view of the eclipse as it peaked in and out of the clouds. I then used it on my camera for a couple ofs hand-held snapshots.
