Shooting Today's Solar Eclipse

Sort of a novice here but would appreciate any advice on taking pictures of today's solar eclipse. I am located in Southern California and I understand the Eclipse will begin here sometime after 5:00 pm. Beautiful day and barely a cloud in the sky and I understand So. Cal. will have a good view of the event.

My equipment: Canon 60D. Lens options I have are Canon 70-300mm L; Canon 24-105mm and also have a Canon 10-22mm. I'm guessing the 70-300mm L might be the best option but not certain. I also have a very good tripod.

Any advice on what the best settings might be and/or anything else is greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

if It is a full eclipse, I would try capturing the landscape at that moment. It's magical. As if life suddenly comes to a stop. So wide angle for me. If it lasts long enough, might try to capture the diamond ring around the moon, but I'm not sure that is safe without extra protective filters. You don't want to toast your sensor, or your eyes.

This is what I was curious about. I'm not going to be shooting tonight but I wondered if it was safe to do so without something over the lens.
