    They obviously haven't played with a magnifying glass in bright sunshine.

    Focus the suns rays on a friend's hand for 1/1000 second and no problem ........ didn't feel a thing!

    Do the same for 6 seconds and end up with a punch in the face .......... and no friend!

    Slightly more seriously, here's a shot taken during our partial eclipse and the exposure was nowhere near six seconds, even though there was significantly less light than during full sunlight. Exposure on this was 1/400sec at F16, during a very quick break in the cloud base, so I was very lucky to get anything at all.

      I got the cane when I was at school for holding a magnifying glass on the back of the girl sitting in front of me and burning a hole in her tunic.
      My mother had to buy her a new one - I was not allowed out for a week. I hate to think what would happen in this day and age if the same thing happened.

        You would get councilling then the council would send you on a taxpayers weeks paid holiday to rebuild your confidence and team bond with other such miscreants.

        Lee sell a filter specifically for this.

        strange I always thought the eclipse was in the sky and involved the moon and the sun..

        If you are attending the total solar eclipse in North America in 2017

          Six seconds exposure behind a 400mm lens in what appears to be more or less midday sun! What else did he expect....

            We now have whole generations of very stupid people dreaming up ever more stupid things to film for Youtube, so that equally stupid people watch it in the hope it goes viral.

            Forgive my logical mind here, but isn't a Virus quite unpleasant?
