You ABSOLUTELY MUST WEAR EYE PROTECTION when viewing the eclipse. Retina damage is NOT painful but the damage will be done nevertheless.

From a Google search about photographing the eclipse:
REMEMBER TO USE YOUR SOLAR FILTERS while the eclipse is not total, and DON'T use filters while the eclipse is total. DURING TOTALITY ONLY, it is perfectly safe to look directly at the FULLY eclipsed Sun! If you do not have proper filters for your camera equipment, then DO NOT attempt to take pictures of the eclipse!

I know the professionals will take way better pictures than I ever could, so I'll enjoy those.
