W/NW: Sun in the frame

[taffer]

Ok, let's give this main page a bit of marcha 🙂 On my recent shots in the gallery several people commented (thanks!) that they liked the sun being into the frame. I'm sure we all have shots that way, let's look at them !

I like shooting against the sun, on one side, if it turns out decent enough that gives always a sort of extra force to the image, on the other it allows me to see how different lenses behave under that abuse 😀

This one was taken in the Barceloneta quarter, on the spring of 2004, while on my RFF meeting with Francisco and Frances in Barcelona, with a Kiev 4a and a J-12 lens.

Let's see yours !

[Sounds like a plan.]

Hey, it's never too late ! 😀 And a backlit can do as well, just now I remember that one you posted on the traveling Canonet gallery 😉

Nice sky ! I see your town is together with bcn in the competition for the most craned city 😀

I give you not one but four 🙂
First three were taken in London on HP5+ (same roll) G2 + 28
I guess using the hood would have controlled the flare a bit
better.
Last one is digital 😱 taken with a 300D 😱 (sold it in the end)

Wonderful shots everybody ! Mihai I love your first one, everybody in the middle seems to be gazing at the sun except the one looking at you 🙂

Keep them coming !

The sun is here, even if on this one it was shy, yet can still be seen 🙂 Ricoh 35ZF and Superia 100.

I dont have an image with the sun itself, but here is my pic.

Can a hood really do anything if the source of the glare is actually framed in the picture? Maybe if you had a glass building off camera I guess.

Here are three shots:

1 and 2 were shot at -10 deg. F. with a Kiev 4A and Jupiter 12. Film was Kodak BWC400. Exposure was with a yellow filter on the lens at f11 @ 1/500 sec.

3 was shot with a Fuji GS645 folder with a yellow filter and Kodak Portra 400 B&W. Can't remember and didn't log the exposure data.

For some reason I like shooting into the sun, I don't know why. 🙂 I have other shots but they were not with rangefinders so I didn't post 'em.

Here are a couple of sun pictures. Unfortunately they were captured with a digital camera.

Nice one taffer! I can count the number of blades in the J-12's iris!

Here's mine...

Mack, what lens was this ? Thanks,

Roland.

that should be the 50 summarit, if i remember it correctly.

edit: just check my notes, it was the 35 pre-asph cron, not the summarit.

Ooooohhh, I love shots into the sun, and backlits, and bright speculars, and flare and UFOs and ...
