@tryeveryday I shoot into the sun all the time it seems! If you get the sun just out side of your shot, I usually go for the corners, it gives a great blown out look!
June 23rd, 2012  
Jerry--you are rocking the flowers! Love the light and Summertime! :-)

@orangecrush I've been struggling with getting enough to get that dreamy blown out look without getting too much or too many flares. I posted two yesterday, and I think i've still got too much!! I didn't edit them because I'm really trying to work on getting the settings and lighting right without just changing it later, but one of them I totally blew out the sky in the background! I'll have to keep working. ;) Thanks for the tip!!
June 23rd, 2012  
And a fine weekend to you sir!
June 23rd, 2012  
@tryeveryday Something else I do is I set my camera on AV (canon) and shoot with three different exposures, -2, 0, +2. The same if you were doing HDR. Sometimes the above or below exposure looks better than the single shot.
June 23rd, 2012  
beauty!
June 23rd, 2012  
Spectacular lighting! Just love this. Fav!
June 23rd, 2012  
@orangecrush I have a canon too. I'll have to try that. Thx!
