Sun

With all the emphasis on the stars the past few nights, I decided to feature our local star today. Image is with the little M100 connected to the big 100-400 zoom and the glass (neutral) solar filter. One thing about celestial photography is you can "interpret" the RAW image in multiple ways. Move the sliders around in Photoshop and things change. I wanted to bring out the texture of the sun's surface, so 100% Contrast, +50 Texture, and +25 Clarity. Whether that's actual texture on the surface of the sun or just a Photoshop effect, I don't know.

My real reason for doing this today is to replace a somewhat mundane "Photo of the Day" for Sept. 2, a trailcam picture of a deer.
