Sun really is a star Photo

Photographer’s Note

Last weekend we again have had a hike to my favourite place here in the surroundings of my city, Siegen. It is a "mountain" with an altitude of 465 m - and on its top a steel framework look-out which was inaugurated in 1896. You can see it in the workshop - and using the map view function left hand. I put the marker there at the viewing platform.

On sunday - and as you can see it really was a "sun-day" - we have had this view in a south-western direction.

You can see the hilly landscape of my region with mountains up to 600 meters and behind the horizon in a distance of about 70 kilometers there's Rhine valley in the Bonn area.

Really! QED. I'm only afraid of the matrix of your camera. :)) But maybe 1/125 s of sun light will not kill it. :)
Impressive presentation.

Regards my dear friend.

Bonjour Frank
Un joli cliché aux douces couleurs où l'astre soleil brille de tous ses feux, c'est la vedette de la photo.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hallo Frank

ja so ein sonniger Sonntag erhellt die ganze Woche...sehr schön wie sich die blau- grauen Hügel in der Ferne verlieren...

Welchen Filter verwendest du denn für Gegenlichtaufnahmen? Kenne mich da gar nicht aus.

Schönen Tag
Günther

Hello Frank,
Of course so! The sun is really a star. This is visible very exactly on this photograph. There will suffice only properly to cover up the diaphragm, afterwards direct the lens on the sun, and then to press the trigger of shutter. Of course, it is necessary still to know, as every bit of it to arrange, which to choose the background and so on. Here all happened after Your thought.
Best regards from Mosina,
Jurek

Yes it is a star and it's Sunday a perfectly detailed landscape. Perfect balance of lights and shadows.
;-) Good camera with good eye behind it. Congratulations, my favorite again.
I would be afraid the sensor might get damaged, I am not trying anything like that with my camera.
You deserve all the comments you have got. Good note too, as usually.
Chris from cold Mississauga.
PS.February 27 !!!!!!! - last day.

Hallo Frank. Man muss sich Zeit nehmen für dieses Bild. Zuerst nimmt man nur die Landschaft und den Himmel wahr. Aber wenn man das Photo genauer betrachtet, werden alle Details in den beiden Bildelementen sichtbar. Und dann ist da natürlich noch die Sonne mit den Strahlen ringsherum. Insgesamt ein Photo zum Erkunden und Sinnieren. Sehr schön. Viele Grüße, wolfgang.

Lieber Frank,
Du hattest einmal geschrieben, dass es die "Farbe" ist was hier zaehlt. Wobei Du voellig recht hastst.
Denn diesen Beitrag haben bis jetzt (einschliesslich mich) 93 paar Augen angeschaut und nur 7 bewertet !
Was solls ?
Schlicht, einfach aber absolut perfekt. Fast wie eine fernoestliche Tuschzeichnung: mit wenigen Farbtupfern und Strichen, viel erzaehlen.
Danke schoen und
mfg

Hi Frank
There is thaw and frost interchangeably... Nice to see the Sun over the mountains. Great light.

Hab ich als Fotograf das Copyright oder liegt das bei dir als Besitzer?
Toller Effekt mit der Sonne! Will ich auch mal ausprobieren, allerdings muss selbige da mitspielen...

Hello Frank,
A nice shot showing the hilly landscape in a contra-light situation very well. It looks like the hills would last into the infinity. The silhouetted foreground trees act as a good framing.
Greetings from now mildly cold Espoo,
Lasse
