'blinded by the light'

'BLINDED BY THE LIGHT'  manfred mann (& earth band)

"One "rule" someone told many moons ago and I had never questioned was this: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT shoot directly into the sun!! Your subjects will turn out dark, you might have lens flare, the picture will be terrible and you will look like a total hack. Are you blinding your friends by having them look into the sun like me?"

 ~ShutterSister.com

 

Yup guess i AM making you look into the sun. & ya'll know I AM  a total hack..lol

SOMETIMES YA' JUST GOTTA' BREAK THE RULES AND GO WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT..(NO FILTERS et al)lol

 

REBEL THAT I AM.....SOME MAY CALL IT 'FOOLISH', SOME MAY SAY 'BRAVE'.

 

REGARDLESS, NOTHING A LITTLE FOCAL B&W CANNOT MITIGATE...HAHA and just a fun little 3-fer for me

 

I HAD 'JUST MISSED' , RUNNING FOR MY FUJI, THE PERFECT SHOTS OF SUN DIRECTLY BEHIND CLOUDS 'GLOWING'...AH WELL, ANOTHER TIME PERHAPS ~ pmc

Totally cool cloud/sun shots, with the only song that could possibly go with that title. It looks as if that cloud has been nuked:)

Did you get what you expected? The result is amazing!! The rules are made just for breaking them : )

Wonder what a polarizing filter would have done?

Hi Patty you can damage your camera if you continue to point it directly at the sun,
but you Have made a good tabblo,
well done courageus lady that you are,
a polarizing filter would protect camera a bit,

Heidenei,
cool photos,
words like " breaking the rules " ... ,
and finally " Blinded by the light " from " the roaring silence " ( the first LP that my sister bought... )
Meanwhile I have the CD, I will look for it and listen immediately...
Again >>> danke schön :-)))
