Thanks, In one of the frames that I shot there is a vapor trail across the top and if you look closely at around 10 o'clock you can see the airplane.
I spotted this in the sky and at the time I had no clue what is was or how to photograph it. I just knew I had to try, although it does not feel right pointing your camera directly at the sun. This was caputured in St Petersburg, FL on 6/4/2012 at 1:50 PM. This was shot with a Canon 5D Mark III, F7.1, 1/1600, ISO 100, Manual Exposure. I later found out that this phenomenon is called a Sun Halo and is quite rare. After finding that out I was quite please to have captured it. Is there any guidelines on photographing the Sun mid day and can doing this harm your camera?
Thanks, I lived in Hawaii for 2 years, just East of Diamond head in the coastguard housing.
Thanks, I am looking forward to getting feed back on my work.
Thanks, It will take a bit to figure out this site and how to move around in it.
