Buying Solar Viewing glasses? Test them first. Most are made in china. How to test:
1) Look at a 60 to 100 watt bulb, if you can see it with the glasses even up close, if you should only see the filament or LED at a close distance, you are probably OK.
2) After that check out the Sun, it should appear as a dim disc, perhaps orange in color with no discomfort.
Same goes with your Camera, an eclipse can do much damage to your camera, get a special filter.
Which is why I won't even try to take pictures of the eclipse. First of all, I'm not excited about the eclipse and secondly, I won't risk either expensive lenses or cameras getting the shot.
Like others here, I'll just live that day just like any other one.
At best, I might celebrate the event by remembering the one that created the universe which is so perfectly tuned for such events and for mankind to be able to exist.
