SUMMARY
Switzerland-based Nikon photographer Angel Fux prepared for over two years to capture the recent total solar eclipse in Spain. She researched locations using Google Earth, prioritizing Spain for its weather prospects over Greenland or Iceland. Fux rehearsed her shooting sequence extensively, practicing camera settings, timing, and switching between two Nikon cameras to ensure instinctive actions during the brief 103-second totality. She selected the Nikon Z8, Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S, and Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lenses for their reliability, reach, and versatility in demanding environments.
