I'm going to experiment with full sun but does anyone have experience with using the Lee Big Stopper for this? I'm also wondering, I must have to do some sort of exposure blending to make sure that the lighthouse comes out and the sun is not blown out?
If you have any chance at all of getting into the path of totality, I would definitely say do it. A partial eclipse is interesting, but a total eclipse is the most spectacular natural phenomenon that you can possibly witness, IMHO. I've traveled the world to see eclipses on three occasions (had success twice), and it is so stunning it is beyond description. The photos never do it justice --- you just have to see it in person!
