Guest Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have mixed feelings of this photo. The environment where I took the shot was super ugly, a bit industrial place in the middle of Phuket. But then there were the colors and one way had the palm trees which rose above the ugly buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancealot Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) this one makes me feel drunk... I was going for sea sickness. But I'm happy with drunk. Busy with one pic I cannot view longer then a few seconds with-out getting dizzy. So still working on it, seriously..... Your last pic is freaky, ocean full of oil.

Guest Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 PICT0015 (Large).jpg How do you get those rings to appear around the sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) PICT0015 (Large).jpg How do you get those rings to appear around the sun? I believe they are actually sun flares. Normally, sun flares are at an angle from the sun and get bigger with distance. In this instance, my lens was centered in the same plane with the sun without any tilt whatsoever - so the flares become concentric and travel straight to your eye, and get bigger. The problem is, you can't really tell in the view finder if you hit it spot on, or not - so, it's one of those lucky shots...

The problem is, you can't really tell in the view finder if you hit it spot on, or not - so, it's one of those lucky shots... That's a really nice effect, but I think it has more to do with your camera and optics. Sun flares happen in the Sun and are local events out there (except when the flares eject particles to the earth and mess with ionosphere and therefore cause northern lights etc.). http://www.theguardian.com/science/video/2014/sep/01/solar-flare-flurry-nasa-video Halo would be closer one and happens in the upper atmosphere. The light from the sun reflect from the ice crystals which causes the ring effect around the sun. The area inside the ring is darker and outside it's brighter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon) The next one would be rainbows where the sun's lights are reflected inside water droplets. On your photo, the rings don't look like anything above. The outermost ring comes to the front of the yellow thingy which means the the light bends somewhere very locally. Therefore I think it's inside your camera. What kind of camera and settings did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know I am in trouble with me post once again. Sorry we dont share silly sense of humour ... I posted pics ... then posted a pic of someone taking same pic. I was taking the p*$$ out myself. Still my dry self depricating childishness aint everyones cup of tea. Perhaps I should take water with it or keep off TV. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted September 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2014 Kan Win and PAWNEESE. Just a case of crossed wires here I believe. I have also jumped to the wrong conclusion before regarding another posters comment,it is easily done. I remember reading PAWNEESE's comment in his original post and also took it as him making fun of himself but can also understand it being taken the wrong way....it happens.........Forgive and forget? Keep on posting PAWNEESE,especially your sunrises/sunsets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
