What the solar eclipse is REALLY about.

THE, ULTIMATE, BURN.

First of all, I have to warn you about this post. If you have a weak stomach or just not into consuming strange things, please, by any means, stop and close this page, because if you do keep reading, this will scar you FOR LIFE.

Still reading? I warn you there is no turn back once you realize what these are… so here’s your final warning… move away if you have weak stomach and a weak mind.

These are some pictures of a recent secret cannibalism event in Japan, where people pays 20,000 Yen (Around 2,000 USD) to eat…

(scroll down, last safety)

..

HUMAN, MALE, GENITAL.

Yes, his dick and his balls.

Apparently the host of the event is, or WAS the owner of the genitals, he organized this because he wants to raise awareness of imbalance between sexes, as he wishes to become a “neutral sex”.

Partial Solar Eclipse Time Lapse Stitch

Maybe this is the only time I will ever get to see a solar eclipse in my life time, presume I stay put and never move. How can I pass this chance to document it?

Of course I can’t. That’s why I took the possibility of permeant vision damage, melting shutter blind and fried sensor and bite the bullet.

I don’t have proper solar filters, but instead I stacked a Lee Big Stopper (10-stop) and a screw-in Hoya ND400 (9-stop) ND filter. Which in research they are enough for taking the pictures of the sun. I had to control the metering on my camera to underexpose (2/3 -EV) to compensate for glares which was visible. I also had to cover the lens between each exposure to prevent permeant damage to the camera.

Stitch of 34 shots, shot in a 90 minutes period at one and half minute intervals.

Camera: Nikon D700

Lens: Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8D

Exposure program: Program

ISO: 200 - 800

I don’t think this is the best I can do with solar photography but hey, first (and possible the last) try.

Comments welcome.
