What great light and great colors on the flowers. I would have been tempted to stop down a little more to get more rays in that sun star, but nevertheless it is a good looking shot as always.

Yea, this lens doesn't flare very nicely, but perhaps another stop down or so would've helped.

Ah I see...Maybe a switch to canon will help...(just kidding) I've found anywhere between f/16 and f/22 I seem to get the best results with this technique.

For if one denied and refused to accept the existence of the single, unique sun, he would be compelled to accept the existence of a whole series of minor suns, each real and existent in its own right, as numerous as the drops and bubbles of the ocean, as countless as the particles of snow. It would be necessary to believe that each minute particle contains a huge sun, even though the particle is large enough only to contain itself.

It would be an even greater sign of lunacy and misguidance to refuse one's assent to the attributes of perfection of the Glorious Creator, even while beholding the well-ordered cosmos that is constantly changing in wise and regular fashion, that is being ceaselessly renewed in disciplined manner. This, too, would be like the ravings of a lunatic, since it would then become necessary to believe and accept that absolute divinity is present in all things, even a particle. For every particle of air is somehow able to enter and work its effects upon every flower, fruit and leaf, and unless the particle be entrusted with this task by a Creator, it must know of itself the structure and form of all the objects it penetrates and affects. In other words, it must possess all-encompassing power and knowledge.

Gorgeous! And I'm so glad you shot it at 7,692,307/100,000,000 second. Anything else really wouldn't have worked.

Raymaker In reply to StringOfLights [2010-08-26 03:11:13 +0000 UTC]

I'm assuming you started at 8,000,000/100,000,000 and worked your way down in increments of hundred millionths of a second?
