Blinded by Blue

Went out yesterday and took some shots directly into the sun (something I have never done before) and was pretty happy with some of the results. This one was good, but I thought it had a bit more uniqueness if I darkened it quite a bit.

What do you think?

Very cool! Makes it look like night time! 1/4000th or so? Thanks for sharing. Never thought of doing something like that for fear of burning my sensor!!

Thanks for sharing.

Just 1/1250. I didnt know you could burn your image sensor. Is that really possible?

Thanks to all for the comments.

Probably not, but didn't want to take a chance on a $5K D3 body!!! I've caught he direct sun before, but usually only at wide angles.

Ok good to know. But my body only cost $300 used so it wouldnt be a major loss but I can see your point.
