I was practicing for the eclipse

I photographed the sun, at least I was trying to photograph it, getting ready for the eclipse.

This is really a pretty result. I like the silhouette leaves and the sunflare. I hope you didn’t hurt your eyes or the camera.

@grammyn my eyes hurt the afternoon after the eclipse. I used lots of drops and didn’t watch tv the rest of the day. I had NASA glasses but there were times when I was using my phone to block the sun that I caught glimpses of the bright light!

[Diana]

Oh Lou Ann, that does not sound good at all! I hope your eyes are ok by now.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Not an easy subject to capture Lou Ann, you have to be so careful not to look into th sun directly:)

Lovely shot!

@ludwigsdiana @ziggy77 @365projectltaylor @mittens @bigmxx @boxplayer @bkbinthecity @carolmw @koalagardens @pcoulson @carole_sandford my eyes are just fine. Thank you all for your caring comments! I was just being extra cautious letting them rest.

It sure is bright- even the "regular" sun can cause eye damage so it sounds like you did everything right.

[Diane]

I hope your eyes are OK.

[Dione Giorgio]

Cool shot. It's always worth trying some shots to get the best perspective and camera settings. Did you get some good shots of the eclipse?

[Brian]

Good to know your eyes are good. I like this image
