366 Days of 2012, Day 161 - Fire In The Sky

With all the recent interest in looking up at the sun I decide to see if I could capture it with a normal lens and no UV filter. The short answer NO.

Even at 1/8000 of a second at ISO50 and an aperture of f/64 it was still completely blown out. The resulting cloud around the sun however has taken on an eerie deep space nebula like quality which could not have been captured any other way.

One of the wonderful things about experimental photography is being continually surprised in post discovering unexpected images that were never evident in the viewfinder or in the perceived subject. This image is one of those discoveries..
