    I wanted to see whether the theory of stopping down a camera and aiming at the sun would produce a starburst. Now, I don't know if this is good or bad, but this is what I got. I've upped the exposure a bit and added some sharpening from the raw file. It's resized just so I don't take up too much space.

    The camera had a UV filter on and no lens hood.

    Comments invited (good or bad as I have no preconceived ideas).

    sun /star burst must be a contributing factor to an image, in this case i wouldnt of even noticed it if it wasnt the theme of the post.

    Good one, Alan. Looks like you captured a single point of sunlight and thereby clearly distinct rays coming out.

    Unlike this poor attempt with multiple points, over-exposure and lots of lens flare 😟
