As you can see from the tree in the foreground, the sun was low, around 8pm. I set ISO to 100, set shutter to 1/400, F/7.1. Image is cropped 1:1. No post processing, other than the text.<br /><br />This is with a 12 year old DSLR...I'd imagine a larger image with more megapixels in a newer body.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455752000373769998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902998760490669090.post-60032892330219826912017-08-07T20:30:45.900-07:002017-08-07T20:30:45.900-07:00Cool!

I keep aiming at the red sun and getting the photo completely blown out.<br /><br />At least, it's supposed to cool down a little this week. I think that means fewer lightning strikes, too, which should help with the fire situation.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.com
