Kit lens, against the sun

liquidstone · Apr 26, 2004

Can I see your photos taken with the kitty against the sun?

My wife kind of like this snapshot taken with the kit lens against the setting sun - not much flare problems.

1/125 sec., F13, ISO 100, 18 mm FC, resized, some USM, contrast adjustment and Neat Image.

Cheers,

This is about as close as i've come to shooting the sun... was quite happy with the way this shot turned out, and if i remember correctly its as-is (as it came out of the camera)

I've been huffin' and puffin' all over the farmlands of Villadolid, Negros Occidental (southern Philippines) last weekend to get a some shots on egrets. Got over 300 shots, a few of them passable, most were trash.

I took the last flight to Manila at Bacolod Airport last Monday. Before

boarding the plane, I whipped out my 300D, snapped on the kit lens, and took a couple of quick shots at my ride home.

The second snapshot is the POTD.

victims of mediocrity amid a sea of talented bird shooters with topnotch
equipment here at dpreview forum.

Great capture. You got it at the perfect moment. A bit earlier or later, the sky colors would've been less dramatic.

Just curious, what's the thing (corrugated?) at the far right of the photo?

I don't normally shoot MTB cross-country races. I think I might from now on...

Obviously, fill flash used, alsthough my pet project now is to get rid of those bloody reflective race plates!

Wow....real nice pics. How did you get the circular "flare" going? I like the second one the best

Some flares but I love the contrast and the colors... Kit lens, taken in my garden...

LOL! One would never expect where great photo ops present themselves - could be thousands of miles away on a safari, or right at your balcony.

Me thinks cropping that out will further enhance the photo.

Good one, sir. I think the bit of flare helped the photo in this one. Gives the viewer an idea of how gruelling the race was under the glaring sun.

Impressive, Stan. The kitty can really do wonders if used with some imagination.

Just wondering, were the rings of light around the sun visible to the naked eye, or were they produced by the lens?
