Hi @Zcar77 ,

Great photo, thanks for sharing.

Is it a park close to your place? Do you visit it often to charge your soul?

By the way you might want to check out the Nature Lovers Club :evergreen_tree::cactus::palm_tree::ear_of_rice::blossom::deciduous_tree: post.

Hi @Zcar77

Thank you for sharing this photo with us. Is this your city? What camera did you use to capture this image? Can you share a bit more information about the place and your experience while taking these photos I think it will be interesting for the other Local Guides?

Hello @Zcar77 ,

I’ve recently tried to take a photo of the sun and I used a small aperture to get the effect of a starburst. Another way to achieve this, is to take a picture of the sun when it is partially seen, just like in your photograph.

I had to try the tips from this article Photo Tips - How to shoot StarBurst (Sun-Star)? - TravellerG by @TravellerG . I have to mention they were extremely useful. If you are interested, read his post.

Thank you dear friend, @MoniDi for referring my post, here; also your your tip is very valuable & accurate, good.

You know one more IMPORTANT thing ? - You know that the SHUTTER is made up of N number of Blades (5… or 8, 9 etc) … Is it not? The number of ‘BURST RAYS’ of A ‘Sunburst’ will be, DOUBLE the number of blades, if the number of Blades are ODD number & it will be the same number of bursts, if the is number blades are even. Ie. Shutter with 8 Blades will give 8 RAYS and shutter with 9 Blades will give 18 Bursts - hope this information will be useful…

Regards

Wow, I did not know that @TravellerG . I learn new things every day and today this is it.

Thank you for the useful tips and we are looking forward for your next post.

I wonder if you are thinking of writing a post on taking photos at the night sky and the moon?

Inspiring to know that at least few LG members are getting benefited; thanks for your inspiring words.

I remember your question about the ‘Creamy Sky’ also; I just don’t believe in giving the theoretical explanation without practical examples - that takes time; of course, I will remember about night sky & moon, too - God willingly, we will.

Thanks

your statement “… when your at the right spot and time !that is when to take a shot…” also is a good time; but as a Pro, difficult to fully agree…

Thanks for the response,

Thank you for the advice @Zcar77 !

Now that I have a DSLR camera, I will experiment with the settings, location, light, etc. and try to do my best to take a great photo! Perhaps I will get the chance to share it here in a post. :slight_smile:

Do you have any other sunburst photos which you would like to share here?

Hi @Zcar77 ,

Thanks a lot for your reply and your appreciation!

Yeah, I visited village Leshten last summer and I liked it a lot because it’s very quiet and beautiful. Once you visit Bulgaria, you can take great photos from this village.
