Photos of Camera Gear Damaged During the Recent #SolarEclipse
The sun is no joke – it’s powerful, as demonstrated by these almost cringe-worthy photos of rental equipment damaged during the recent total solar eclipse, and reported over at the lens rental blog:
We recently had quite a spectacle in the United States, with a Solar Eclipse reaching totality throughout a large portion of the United States. Being that this was the first solar eclipse passing through the Continental US since 1979, excitement ran wild on capturing this natural event using the best camera gear available.
But with such excitement, came a treasure trove of warnings. Warnings that this event can easily damage your camera, your lens, and your eyes if you do not have the proper protection. With all of our rentals leading up to this event, we warned everyone to view the event with appropriate eyewear and to attach a solar filter to the end of their lenses to protect the lens elements and camera sensor.
