So obviously, don't look directly into the sun- you'll burn your retinas out.

Regualr sunglasses wont work. The moon will cover the sun which in turn makes it have a magnifying glass effect; and the UV rays from the sun will be more concentrated on the earth.

For photography, make sure to use a polarizing lens ON TOP OF some sort of filter.
I have a SHADE NO. 12 Welding plate that I'm going to hold in front of my lens, so the eclipse won't melt or damage my lens.

Read the article, its very helpful :)
Happy clicks ahead!
