I take that back. It seems like itโ€™s covered up a lot when using the colander but it doesnโ€™t really show on the camera. I think the inability to focus and the amount of light just makes it hard to capture. (Shadow picture to follow) nostr:note1qkan8p0csarat6cwnp34r0n789ffc3f9jvqnrczgww5ajwhw473s0g6y93

You can see deformity in the sun in the camera, but itโ€™s extremely slight. However the pinhole shadow shows how exaggerated it really is

The collandee things works if the holes are close to the aperture of the camera.

Otherwise you can point the collandee in the sun and look at it's shadow. That's the same idea but the collenesr is the camera lens instead of the camera๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝ

You caught it in the flare, pretty cool

I got a pretty cool flare shot too.

Flare and sun, inverted. Really cool

It will damage your lens

Watch it on YT ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™ll keep everyone updated on whether this hurts the sensor or not. Iโ€™ve taken many pictures of the sun before for certain shots and for film stuff and have never had any problem. And I also pointed my phone at it about 100 times during this eclipse and only gave it a little rest in between in case the focal point was causing heat damage. With as much of a perfectionist as I am Iโ€™ll watch for dead pixels or spots in my images. Then we can know for sure ๐Ÿ˜†

I lent my phone my solar glasses... got the worst picture I've ever taken!
