Do you have a Calumet Photo nearby? I know they stock it.
Their Website/Server seems to be down at the moment though. |

Funny as I was just checking to see if there was a Calumet near her :) |

| We're going to Morro Bay, in southernish CA, near San Luis Obispo but still three hours from LA. It's driving me bananas because I know there must be SOMEWHERE I can buy it, but I just don't know how to find out. I've tried the major photography store in Fresno, and they don't stock it. (Boot's). The next nearest stores are going to be in San Francisco and I just can't drive over there for that, it's a three-hour drive. grr. |

| Check your local phone book for camera shops and start calling. |

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Trouble is that to get ANYWHERE with a camera store entails at least a 70-mile drive. And since online yellow pages really lack, I'll probably have to, I dunno, go to the library? to look at actual paper-and-ink directories for nearby cities. How TOTALLY 1991 this all is. ;) I thought maybe our little studio/1-hour photo/print store in town might have it, but no dice. |

Eclipse is manufactured by Photographic Solutions Inc. and you can reach them by phone at 508-759-2322; they probably can tell you the nearest retailer of their product. Oddly enough, they are only 35 miles or so from me.

You should go to Montana De Oro state park in Los Osos. Just alittle south of Morro Bay. I went to school in San Luis Obispo. It has sand dunes right to the beach or built into bluffs that drop off about hundred feet right to rocky beaches of the coast. I love that place, I wasn't taking photos then but it is amazing. Next time I go back it will be a place I'll go back to. Sorry no help on the eclipse though.

Bakersfeild isn't much closer than San Jose, if you are driving straight down 41 to SLO.
You might call Jim's Campus Camera

Yeah, Bakersfield's way out of the way. I swear, every day of my life I'm glad I live where I do and not in a major city, but this has really put that to the test. ;) I'm going to try a couple of places in Fresno and Modesto once business hours commence, and beyond that I'll just order some when I get back and try to use wide apertures and Photoshop to my advantage in the meanwhile. grr.
Thanks very much everyone for your help. |

| One other alternative. Contact a chemical supply house and ask for a high-purity reagent grade methanol. Specify that it needs to have less than 5ppm residue on evaporation. You'll need to buy a 500ml (half-liter) bottle and it should cost about $30. That will keep you in "eclipse" for years. Just be *very* sure to keep it tightly closed or it will absorb water from the air. And store appropriately, it's a very flammable liquid. |

Camera center in Modesto may carry it, there is also supposed to be a great camera repair shop in Stockton--but i'm not sure what the name is...but the pro shooters I know in Modesto all go there.
