| Sunlight coming through the leaves |
I was sitting outside during the late afternoon and I saw a spectacle. Light from the sun was shining through a hole in the leaves of the trees and it formed a starburst of a multitude of thin rays of light emanating from the center. I tried to capture it with the camera but didn't quite. If you embiggenate the image, you can kind of see some of the effect near the center, but what I was seeing extended out so far that it would have filled the whole frame. It might be the shortcomings of the camera, or it might have been a trick of the eye. In any case it was pretty cool.
The hole in the leaves must have been pretty small because I could look right at it with my unshielded eyes. I probably avoided focusing on the center, but I could see it and it didn't produce any after effects.
You're lucky, very few people get a chance to witness that and probably most don't stop and think long enough to realize what they are seeing.
ReplyDeleteI did an afternoon photography lesson and was showed how best to create those images. You had to lengthen something or maybe shorten it. Which is why I can't do it now. Nice photo.
