Halo on Sunday Photo

Photographer’s Note

Strange view on Sunday.
10 am. at the Rama 8th bridge.

As I looked up at the top of the tower of Rama 8th bridge I was amazed by something special around the sun.
The sun was encircled by a circular band of colored light that was called "Halo". It made unusual view to the bridge that I get used to and it looks like a glory day to me.
"A halo over the bridge." A rarely seen moment.

At that moment I tried to hide the hot spot of the sun behind the tower by move myself into the shadow of the tower to get a right exposure and avoid the extremely bright spot of the sun.

Hello Pongnakorn,

Very graphical view that this one. The pilars of the bridge against the light with all the cables putting some slice of sky work very well.
Your composition to have the halo not so well centred works nice as the sun not entirely hidden to help the look to correctly analyse the picture.

Yves.

hi, Pongnakorn,
yes, this is solar halo. usually, it predicts a big storm is coming. good catch with that. not even you catch it, but with a good composition and light control. good job with that!

J-P,
