Catch a Shooting Star

Catch a Shooting Star
Saturday Self-Challenge: Create a "Starburst" image. Any light source will work for example, street lights, sun, moon, Christmas lights, candles etc.

The past week was tough due to time constraints and opportunity for the right circumstances. However this morning presented itself with the first real opportunity all week to do something. The clouds looked so unusual and with the sun in direct line with them I got inspired. Getting a photo of full sunlight was another challenge: how to get it without blinding me! For safety reasons I used the screen instead of viewfinder. This image is the result. The composition balance could be better, but I think I conveyed the message of the title well enough.

Have a great week, everyone!

What a beautiful photo Val - yes you do have to take extra care when taking photos of the sun. I don't have a separate screen lens, so I try and make sure I'm not facing the sun.

A nice light trail through the sky before 'exploding' in the trees, very sensible using the screen, although the effect would be different with the sun being so low at the moment you can hide the sun behind something like a tree trunk or part of a building, useful if like Jenny you don't have a separate screen

I like light shining through bare trees.
And especially when it radiates like your star.
