Dinging around with photographing into the sun. I am happy with this, except for that thing at the bottom right, which I didn't see when I was shooting. Ah well.
This is one of those metallic fringes at a car place, with which they intend to lure you into their den.
i just made a comment on your close-up one ... but coming back to this one i've decided i like this one better after all !!!!!!!!! .. its a bloody good shot alicia ............. certainly doesnt 'need' any editing ..
I know you have got the metallic fringe as a focus but you know the blue sky really catches my attention. It is so clear! Lol I would never have thought about taking a pic of these - cannot wait to see how you will edit this pic!
Neat shot, makes me see something I see too often, but in a different light. I love the deep blue sky away from the sun, and the use of the fringe to "hide" the sun just a bit (yet it shows up in the fringe again, giving nice highlights). Can't wait to see it edited.
Nice starbursts! Can't imagine a much more difficult shot to meter straight from camera :-) This will be an intensely cool photo if the fringe is highlighted in PP. You have a lot to work with here. Great composition and interesting / creative shot.
Nice diagonal comp, and when you edit you can always get rid of that little thing in the corner. I hate when stuff creeps in and you don't see it! Nice job controlling the exposure for an "into the sun" shot.
Great natural gradient and lines. This one could be pretty sharp edited up to really bringout the colors of the streamers. This is one I would like to play around with.
great alicia ... love that sky .. love the sun ... excellent the way you've composed this shot ... as i type this its 4pm on saturday whereas for you guys its midnight on friday .. so i'm not that speedy after all .!!!! ... was talking to a friend about the power of mustangs and my car is like a toy in comparison!!
I like the way the sky gradient falls off as it goes away from the white area around the sun.
Maybe the thing in the corner is a magic wand, and the sun is the "zap" ? : )
mmmmm sparkely :) they would get me for sure :) Love the way you have the sun filtering through the blue fringe... it makes it appear to blend ever so nicely into the background :)
