Yeah man, the biggest reason that the video the young athlete recorded went so viral is probably the **shutter speed and steady stance**. Since the heat and light change instantly during a solar eclipse, they must have used a 1/500 s or faster shutter on the camera. Otherwise the sensor would either be blown out from dark to a bright spot or the image would get messed up in seconds. And it’s likely it wasn’t shot on a smartphone but with a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because those types can instantly adjust exposure during the eclipse thanks to ISO settings and lens compensation.
They also must have used a tripod to keep it stable, so there are no shaky frames in the video. They might have used a telescope or a telephoto lens, too, since you need a long focal length to capture the “diamond ring” moment clearly. In my opinion that young athlete wasn’t just lucky; they were technically prepared. They probably did test shots on their own and calculated beforehand which angles would give the best results during the eclipse. Otherwise, getting something like that with an unadjusted camera would be almost impossible.
