The Sun - 28th Apr 2015

[David Smith]

This morning's effort. With the forecast the way it is it might be the last for a few days. If not, then focusing is going to be tricky!

Nice disc, just shows how spoilt we've been lately.

Nice one David. Can you tell me how you orient your image to the Sun's axis?

Very nice work

[David Smith]

Thanks all

@ Dave

With the DSLR it is really very simple. I just align the Sun's direction of travel with the long axis of the camera chip / viewfinder before I shoot.

Bizibilder's tutorial is an excellent resource and probably explains it better than I do
