I love it. Had a look like that here in FL yesterday, unfortunately, was with the family on my way home and, by the time we got home, the time had passed. Ugh...

Richard · July 31, 2011

Awesome.

Heaven is opening up--great capture!

CCROY · July 31, 2011

Excellent shot. One has to be quick to sieze such opportunity

oldoval · July 31, 2011

Wow thanks guys. I'm actually surprised to get this much reaction to this one. I never can guess though what images people will react to most. Thanks again.

I've noticed that when I under expose, the rays jump out quite a bit more. I guess it would be similar to adding a lot of contrast in post process, but by under exposing from the start you don't have to worry about blowing out the rays. Oddly enough when I lived in the east I rarely ever saw the types of rays that I get here in the west. The higher altitude and lack of humidity/haze in the air here may be a factor. I'm a bit of a noob so my exlpanations my be a bit trivial. Hope that helps.

Foques · August 3, 2011

that makes sense. I shall try it out! thank you sir!

Beam me up.
