Sun Flare Assignment - Emery

Caught this Seagull checking out the sunrise right before I went golfing at Pheasant Ridge

I think God was blessing my clubs this morning...


Beautiful Sun flare over Lake Michigan during recent trip to Holland, MI.

Reflection in store window at Perkins Cove



Beautiful image for a morning wedding on Sanibel Island



Sunrise at Sanibel Island

California/Arizona Time Lapse

I thought that everyone would get a kick out of this, it is all shot with individual still photos then put together to create the footage that you see here!

Sun Flare


This photo was taken in April in North Carolina, I am not sure how I got a sun flare or even if this is what you mean by sun flair...

August Photo Challenge - Events and Sun Flare

Gilford Clickers, this month's photo challenge is to capture a sun flare in an event photo. The event could be the Pittsfield Hot Air Balloon rally, a wedding, a backyard BBQ. The event is up to you, but at least one photo should attempt to capture a sun flare.

For more information on how to capture a sun flare visit I Heart Faces website.

Turkey Jim's Bridge - Campton, NH



1st Photo taken with Flash at 7:16 pm.

Exposure: 1/60s; f-stop: 3.2; focal length: 10mm; max Aperature: 3.34.



2nd Photo taken without Flash at 7:16 pm.

Exposure 1/8s; f-stop: 3.2; focal length: 10mm; max Aperature: 3.34.
Without the flash, the actual bridge comes out of hiding, as do the 2 people on the right of the bridge.





3rd Photo taken with Flash at 7:20 pm.

Exposure: 1/60s; f-stop: 3.2; focal length: 8mm; max Aperature: 3.34.
Slightly different vantage point using a wide angle lens. I wanted to get more of the water in view to set up my next picture.





4th Photo taken without Flash at 7:21 pm.

Exposure: 2 sec; f-stop: 8; focal length: 8mm; max Aperature: 3.34.
I was trying to get blur on the rushing water. I was messing around with that all week, and realize that I really do need to get a new camera as my F-stop only goes up to 8. but it was still cool.
