The answer

There is no evidence that prohibits photographing solar and lunar eclipses. What is prescribed when they occur is to engage in acts of obedience and worship, such as prayer and charity, for they are two signs by which Allah frightens His servants. Being preoccupied with photography instead of taking heed and worshipping is not characteristic of a Muslim.
