I was lucky enough to witness my first solar eclipse. I didn't even have to travel to see it! I used my Nikon D40 with 3 stacked filters (6 ND, CP, and a Hoya R72). When sighting the sun in I used a shade 14 welding glass to protect my eye. I then closed my eye, removed the glass, and snapped the picture. This is a very amateur attempt to photographing a solar eclipse and I DON'T recommend anyone try it this way. I did however get decent results! I did do some color correction in paint.net.
