Are you planning a trip to witness the historic 2024 total solar eclipse? Before you go, visit Studio 300 to stock up on all the gear you’ll need to photograph and preserve this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Studio 300 has a wide range of cameras and camera accessories to check out, including Marumi’s 58 mm solar eclipse filter! This specially designed filter pairs perfectly with a Canon digital camera, which is also available to check out from Studio 300.
If you make the trip to see the eclipse, we would love to see your photos. Please share them with us by emailing studio300@fountaindale.org or tag us on Instagram or Facebook @FountaindaleLib.
What Do I Need To Check out a Filter?
To check out any equipment from Studio 300, you first need to complete an orientation session. Patrons 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. In-person orientations are available by request.
Why Do I Need a Special Filter?
A solar eclipse filter is required to safely observe and photograph an eclipse. The filter blocks harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation, allowing you to capture each moment safely and confidently. Additionally, the filter provides an exposure reduction of 16.5 stops. This restricts light without impacting the image’s color, sharpness or contrast.
