Wow I am amazed you can get such a clear shot of the sun. It’s ironic because sunsets occur as the day gets cool, but this looks REALLY hot!

Shree
Hi Julie…this is indeed an awesome moment to capture as its not just the sunset but from my eye its a source of immense power, a brith of a new life..and above all its globe of pure light comming out of the darkness making the whole surround bright & enlighten…i am glad that i watched this work of yours..
solareclips~Ju... replied
Hi Shree! That is the most awesome comment!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do so!!! Being there seeing that sunset was so moving, it was a very special day for me and my husband (our 14th wedding anniversary). We honeymooned in FLA, and were lucky enough to be there 14 years later to marvel at the stunning beauty!!!
Teresa Schultz
hurricanes? Oh my word! Nothing like that here, thank goodness. I guess I would freak too, as lightening freaks out my brain. This is a gorgeous capture and I love what you have done with abiding by the most important rule of photography (I feel), of “there are no rules”, as many would avoid a central placing of subject or horizon, but look how perfectly well it works here! Stunning!
solareclips~Ju... replied
Thanks so much Teresa!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me such a nice thoughtful comment!!! I like to shoot things differently, and sometimes I am the only one that likes it that way…. =) That’s ok with me…..
