Today’s daily shoot assignment: Turn the tables and make a photograph of a light source today. Light bulb, window, or even the sun (be careful!).

So decided to shoot Mr. Sun this evening as he’s my main source of light ;)

Had this shot from behind one of our hydrangea bushes in our backyard. Used circular polarizer filter to make the sky look a bit cooler. The Sun was so bright that at one point I thought I was going to go blind.

Used Sigma zoom lens for this shot. Used manual mode and shot this @f/14 for 1/400 sec exposure – although the camera metering system(in spot meter mode) suggested I should shoot this at 1/2000 sec. I bet it was confused with flood of Sun light…
