Burst of Sunlight....

My friend and mentor Steve taught me this technique.   Set your f stop to 22 and focus on the sun through a tree branch or other object.   The result is a really neat burst of sunlight!  Please check out his blog and flickr page - you will not be disappointed! 

Pretty cool, huh?   The blue sky was really vivid, so I am using this as my Midweek Blues submission.

Hope you are having a great week!

Wishing you a sunkissed Tuesday!

This dragonfly was perched facing the sun soaking up the evening rays.  The shot is not as crisp or clear as I would like, but I did not realize that the camera was set to macro mode with the zoom lens extended.  Oh well, can't wait to upgrade to a DSLR!  Plus, I'm still learning......  :)
