Rays from Heaven

Warm weather is coming! Savannah was loving the park today! Here is a great shot I got of her. I didn't know what a great shot it was until I looked at it on my computer. Rays from heaven shining on my baby girl...



Getting a good sun flare shot really isn't as hard as it looks - and they add a really cool dimension to your pictures! The best time to try it is in the evening when the sun is getting low. Position your subject so they are between you and the sun. When you take the picture, the key is to only get a tiny bit of the sun/rays into the picture - so it is just "kissing" the edge of the frame.

Sun flare is often more successful when there is an object like a tree or a barn that is blocking the sun. You just have to move so that just a touch of the sun's rays are peeking out. This helps to eliminate some of the "haze" or "fog" that the sunlight can add to your picture.
