The August 12, 2026 Total Solar Eclipse: A Photographer's Guide

There are events that, as a landscape and weather photographer, you wait a lifetime for. The total solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, is exactly such a moment. For the first time since August 11, 1999, the Moon’s umbral shadow will once again cross mainland Europe—and it will do so right in the middle of the summer holiday season. Those fortunate enough to stand within the path of totality under clear skies will witness an experience that is almost impossible to put into words. Those who miss it in Germany will have to wait until 2081 for the next total solar eclipse visible from their own country.
