Recently bought a Nikon d3300 and a polymer sheet for a diy solar lens filter for my lens. Will using this damage my DSLR light sensor?

Are there certain setting I should use to prevent damage? ( like a closed appature)?

Polymer for diy solar eclipse filter?

Recently bought a Nikon d3300 to get back into photography (took classes in hs but never owned my own camera, I know how to work and take care of a DSLR). There's a solar eclipse this weekend and I purchased a polymer sheet to create a filter (link below). I wanted to make sure that I'm not damaging the light sensor inside the camera. Would having the f/ stop or ISO higher/ wider appature cause damage even with using this filter?

I typically do not ask questions because most the time there would be a comprehensive article regarding this, but I was unable to locate this information online. Also, me owning my first dslr /would be my first attempt at taking photos of the sun I would like to persevere the quality of this camera as long as possible. Any feedback/ personal experience would be great and thank you for helping me in advance!

70-200 2.8 on aps-c (Nikon)?

Is 70-200 f2.8 too long of a lens for outdoor potraits?

I'm currently looking for a lens for my crop sensor nikon body to get a "dreamy" potrait (lots of blur)

I already own the nikon 35mm 1.8 and sigma 17-50 2.8
both these lens are not giving me the dreamy look i'm looking for.

Is the 70-200 a useful focal range for asp-c sensor? Or is there other lens that could result in this "dreamy" look i'm looking for?

I will primary shoot half body but I wouldn't mind doing head shot and full body

Is it safe to take a photo of a solar eclipse?

I'm using a Nikon d5100 which is a DSLR. I don't have any kind of solar filter to use, but I was wondering if it is safe for me to quickly take a photo of a partial solar eclipse? I'm using an 18-55mm lens.

How do I take pictures like this?

I'm new to photography. What is the best way to take pictures like this (time of day, camera settings etc.)?

As you can see it's heavily edited but you can still see the original picture through the editing. I only have a Nikon D5100, and adobe Photoshop to work with.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

70-200mm 2.8 on Crop Sensor?

How useful is the 70-200mm 2.8 on a crop sensor? (nikon)

I will be mostly using this lens for potraits (3/4 shot and full body not much headshots) and a little bit of concert photography.

I'm open to other lens suggestion. I'm also interested in the 85mm 1.4 as i heard it is a better portrait lens (3/4 and full body shot)
