i was so excited with this snap because its the first time i captured the sun's rays! i was so focused in metering my foreground and i didn't mind looking at the horizon haha i was just lucky NO HDR here.

what could be the best settings to capture the rays specially when its just peeking among some dark clouds??? really enjoyed processing this shot, at first its not visible then after it slowly creeped in the photo!;)

    Gorgeous looking landscape capture! thumb.gif Like you, most of my ray captures have been "accidental". I love to know others secret recipes for consistency.
