Sunrays, Blue Sky

Sunrays, Blue Sky

This is the same patch of sky as the photograph from a couple of days ago. However, the Sun was a bit deeper in the clouds where it wouldn't make the "sunburst" effect. I like the one better than the Sunburst because the exposure was better and things didn't get messed up as much in processing while trying to make everything brighter.

Sunburst

Sunburst

Another slow spell on the blog. However, here is something for today. I was shooting some sky shots, and thought that I would try to get a sunburst. It's not bad, but I think that I underexposed it a tad too much. I had some noise issues when I tried to bring back some of the mid-tone details. It doesn't look too bad in a small size. Larger sizes I can tell that it needs some work.

Live and learn.

Moon over Lights

Reflected Lights

Two sources of reflected light in this photograph. The sunlight reflecting off of the light pole, and the sunlight reflecting off of the Moon. Even from so far away, we can see the Moon's reflected light during the daytime. I guess the blue sky might count as one too. The blue color comes from sunlight bouncing around the atmosphere and being filtered to the blue end of the spectrum ... sort of anyway. It's more complex than I believe. This photograph was taken out at Wofford College when we went to watch the Carolina Panthers' training camp.

Keep shooting.
