What an interesting contrast in sky and land. Nice composition. Diamond_Dog 1 hr ago #9

No special filter. I set the camera's aperture to f/22 and shoot at wide angle to achieve a "starburst" effect. Thanks!! George McGovern 1 hr ago #10

Do you use a special filter to get the sun to look like that, George? Or does it just come out that way?
