    Very nice, could you see the light streaming down, or just experience shooting that told you how it would turn out?

    Roger,
    thank you! thumb.gif
    No I couldn't see it IRL, but I knew exactly how it would turn out!

    Never even dawned on me to try it, tell me, is there a good tutorial someplace for shooting these kinds of shots or PM me.

    I'd love to try it with my 5D.

    Wow! You have done a beautiful job envisioning this and pulling it off. Sometimes I forget to look for photo ops in all directions and this will give me a reminder to look up.

    Thanks for sharing.

    The usual. Include the sun into the frame. If you want the "Muench Star" close the aperture down to f/20. If you want sky color to show, too, you may need bracketing (or at least shoot RAW) or underexpose.
