Break the rules and shoot into the sun

by Lynn on September 3, 2010

I once heard that you should never point your camera into the sun…
and I couldn’t disagree more.


Frankly, I love it when my lens is pointed towards the sun.


The light is amazing.


There’s something about the sun that I just can’t get enough of.


I must say, this rule was made to be broken.


So, next time you have your camera, don’t be afraid to face the sun!

Happy shooting!

I love your pictures. The third one down with the little rays of light is my favorite.

I just took some photos of the sun through the fog yesterday morning. I haven’t looked at them yet but I’m thinking they came out pretty well.

I accidentally shot into the a sunset earlier this summer and the result was wonderful!!! Funny how some rules just need to be tested a bit.

I am not one to go about braking rules, but maybe I will break this one since you gave me permission.
