Post your best sun shots here

[Christopher E. Kincaid]

As I wait and wait for some storms around here I have been amassing quite a collection of sun shots. Please post some of yours, here are some of mine:

Nice closeup with perfect clouds

Note the sunspots

Since I moved onto the Illinois prairie, I've had access to some great sunrise-sunset scenes with the low horizons. (These thumbs link to pages with more images).

Sunsets and sun pillars:


Combine harvesters at sunset (these would be illegal if those FL/IA laws passed)

Two Sun Shots


More of a "Apocalypse" kind of look.


I thought that this had a "Hotel California" kind of feel to it.

This was near Davidson, Oklahoma March 19th looking through the base of a weakening T-Shower...kinda devilish looking with a couple of horns extending from the sun...

Nice photos everyone.

What a fascinating and dynamic subject to photograph... filtering opens up a dozen+ new worlds in this realm!! Sadly, I don't have the equip to flaunt that hidden side of the sun.

My most unique, and ancient is a transit of Venus, captured with a ultra-crappy digi-cam using a cheap telescope to project the sun onto whatever large white thing I could find.








Love this one, shallow fog... tall tree... why stay on the ground!!

Man, there are some great photos in this thread, I'm almost ashamed to post these.

Haven't taken many sun photos... most of those are on my old HDD and I don't feel like digging it out

Here's one I took in Aruba in January 2006... had to download it from my Facebook!
