I procrastinated big time about getting some solar filter or solar film or something to make my camera capable of filming the Sun, and now I can't find anything.
I tried buying replacement glass for welding masks, but even with 4 sheets of it stacked together, the Sun blasts right through it. That stuff doesn't work well at all. It's only slightly foggy. No way you'd be able to weld with only that in front of your face.
I was able to make my own DIY Sun glasses, which is just 6 sunglasses stacked on top of each other. I found that that is the perfect amount for me to be able to look directly at the Sun.
But other than buying 6 more Sunglasses for my camera, which would be difficult to set up, and expensive, does anyone have an idea for some kind of makeshift material I could use? Thanks.
