Yes, and I was as surprised as you are. I shoot Sony A-77 so I don't know how this will relate to your camera, but it's fairly easy in I justi picked a focus spot on the edge of the sun and 80%ish of the time it locked in. I didn't expect this.
For live view, I just moved the zoom box to the edge of the sun and worked to find the cleanest edge, a little tricky but workable.
Edit: yes the A-77 has an articulated lcd which was very handy.

But wait, you found focusing a little tricky? Didn't you set your focus on infinity?
I am in the same boat and have been practicing, I think I am ready. Like you and cabunit I did the start wide and zoom in for easyy success. I was successful using live view on the edge like cabunit and my lens also goes "to infinity and beyond" and I don't trust just setting it at the infinity mark. But I want to add that to my surprise af (auto focus) worked quite well.
I won't count on it and will be ready to mf, but it was good to see.
Edit: I know most know what af means, but I've been chewed on for acronyms before, so added clarity.

Nice set Jerry, and I agree with everybody here but you! Lol! I think it's a beautiful ship.
And while the rigging looks ridiculously complicated it looks great to me as well.

I've known about that for some time and I always want to yell at folks when I see them do it.
But I keep my mouth shut so as not to get shot at.

Looks to me like you've got focus and exposure pretty well nailed.
Good luck and have fun, looking forward to pics.

It's a nice shot, prominent for me is the light pole which brings my eye up and around and to the bridge. While I find the bridge and it's surroundings to be slightly busy (nothing you can do about that) I do understand your attraction to the bridge as the idea is very familiar.
Edit: I do agree a less bright sky would help.

I got a set of similar at Michaels with a fish eye, wide angle and macro for $11.00. I knew they were junk before I bought them and of course they are. I got $11.00 dollars worth of fun just goofing around and emailing fun shots to my kids the first day I had them. If your just screwing around they're fun. Don't know what this tele one costs but for goofing off if cheap enough, why not.

Nice work on each one. May I inquire as to where these were?
Everytime I see pics of one I hafta wonder, how did survival of the fittest come up with that?
