Video: Shooting Eclipse Photos Could Cause Your Camera to Catch on Fire

This is just a friendly reminder to those folks who enjoy shooting wildlife photography: If you don’t have the proper equipment, you might want to watch this video before shooting pictures of the eclipse.

A total solar eclipse hasn’t been seen anywhere on the U.S. mainland in 38 years, so naturally, people are going to be anxious to try and snap good photos of this thing. We urge you to use caution, however, because if you don’t have the proper filters for your camera lens, you could end up melting the inside of your camera.

Watch this video, and it will explain everything you need to know – and don’t forget to turn up the volume.

Enjoy the eclipse!
