In my young career as a photographer (Career? hey know of anyone hiring?) I used the sun to light many of my pictures, be it still or video, just as any photographer should. Sometimes I fell victim to our sun, in my inexpirienmce it could turn any reporter or interviewee into shadow face. But recently I have taken a liking to this sun. Yeah it's pretty important for things other than photography I guess... but pointing the lens straight at the sun and capturing, it's kind of turned into a hobby of mine. Bad for a camera with no UV filter? Not sure. But, it never fails to have some short of power to behind it, the photo I mean. A glisten of light peaking out from behind a white picket fence, a silhouette of tree branches against an orange sky, and of course the sunrise everyone wants to remember. They all speak to us.d
So go ahead! Watch your exposures and turn down the f-stops, because the camera just LOVES the sun!
