About This is an image of the low autumn sun over the Northern Lake District fells. I used 6 stops of soft ND grad filters to bring the sun's brightness down to a level where I could capture the foreground colours. I had to use PS to tidy up a few flares which were an expected consequence of shooting directly into the sun with a wide angle lens!

This is a great picture. I always wondered how do you make the sun to show those distinct rays?

Nicely done, good detail in the foreground and capture of the suns rays, a tough shot - but well done.

Hrayr, the rays are caused by the light hitting the filters. The filters aren't coated with anti-reflective coatings like a lens and, if they've been wiped clean as they usually have been, will have almost invisible smears on them that refract the sunlight.

fantastic hazy sun rays... refreshing...but i wonder where does the black spot in the corner come from...keep up the good job

Amazing picture, the rays are amazing.
Just curious, why did you use such a small aperture (f/22) ? ...

Regards,
Paulo

Thanks, Barry!

Paulo, you caught me out on that one! I was using the digital camera to work out an exposure for a similar but different image I was taking with my medium format rangefinder. I was using f/22 with the rangefinder to ensure everything was in focus, front to back, and simply didn't get round to changing the f/stop on the digital camera. Thanks for the interest and sorry I haven't got a good technical answer!
