    Are these merges or were you using a filter? There is a strange gradient effect going on in the sky with the first three. headscratch.gif

    na, no filters or any fancy stuff. just one simple expo per image.
    it was my expo choice to do my best with the avail dynamic range...
    slight blowing out....
    its just how they turned out with the sun star and this lens....

    I like #3 the best. No clouds but you got a nice sun-star. thumb.gif

    What lens/camera combo were you using?

    Very creative, Aaron. Interesting perspectives, and I've never seen sun-stars with a fisheye before. thumb.gif

    Aaron, what great shots! And such beautiful stars, wow!

    I love the perspective that the fisheye gives you. And I think the cliff walls and their shape was just perfect for the lenses you used.

    Wow, these make me dizzy! :D
    Love the angle. From the lot I like #3 the most The stars came out nicely, with very few flares. I must remember to take off any filters when I shoot straight at the sun. rolleyes1.gif

    thanks every one!

    btw, if any of you return to this thread let me ask, out of these shots which one would you like to see entered in a local photo contest.

    i think #1, but i will wait to see what any of you say....

    Aaron,
    They're all great! But I think the gradiation in the sky in #1 is too extreme for my tastes. I really like #3 and #4. But I have yet to do more than enter a couple of the challenges here, so wait for some other folks to pick one for the contest!! :D

    I like the comp in #1 the best. Did you shoot it raw? If so, you might be able to resurrect some blue out of the lighter parts of the sky by cranking the exposure way down. Then exposure-blend that sky into the regularly exposed version. Just a thought.
