Sun streak by maggiemae

Sun streak

This morning noticing the line of sun away out to sea, I grabbed my camera, climbed on to the barbecue table (carefully) and peered through the lens. I didn't see the sun's rays until I downloaded. They aren't as good as some peoples shots but I'm not competing of course, just enjoying!

I just noticed it wasn't horizontal so fixed it in Picmonkey!
I think they are great!! I love sun rays, good shot!!

you have tons of tones in this Maggie! Beautiful, and all that negative space at the bottom works a charm!

Love the contrast lines. What is the object out at sea, a rock?

@joluise The forground is sea and because it is in shadow, is black. That is a tree poking up in the scene- we would like to shoot it down as it pokes up so obviously in our view!

seeing those rays of sun peeking out from the clouds is one of my favorite things - how precious is the gift of sight ~

Wow, what a beautiful scenery. Well done to take all the risk. The tree (?) first looks like fingers to my pointing to the dramatic sky.

Gorgeous rays!!!

You be careful! Ha! I've been on top of our picnic table more times than I can count. Have you seen those telescoping camera mounts that let's us get a more aerial view? You could set the time and hold it up really high. When I get a new tripod, I'm getting one the telescopes out like that.

That line of sun & those rays look rather different, have always liked the rays but never seen that white line before!
Careful on the barbecue table maggiemae, not something you & I should be doing too often!!!

I thought it was a person! I think that tree adds to the composition by giving a focal point.

What a bonus those rays are. Isnt it amazing what we miss out on seeing with the naked eye. Thank God for the camera
March 15th, 2013  
@kcman5 Sometimes the camera sees it in better light than we we do with all the other stuff around!
March 15th, 2013  
Oh, Maggiemae, this is FABULOUS. Glad you were able to capture it--and you did a wonderful job. A definite fav for me.
March 15th, 2013  
Wonderfully moody, but I think I would have preferred a shot of you standing on the BBQ table!
March 17th, 2013  
Wow this is a beautiful shot!!
March 17th, 2013  
So dramatic! A fav for me.
March 18th, 2013  
@worldbiking Thank you Amaya - it looked better dowloaded by itself rather than the whole sky!
