Sun rays are pouring in from over the horizon

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 23 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

This was taken out at Maymont Park. I was hoping for a bit more of the odd steps below to show in the picture. So now i know if i go back to prop up the back of the camera to have it point down a bit & that should do it.

However, i do like the shot because of the nice sun rays just flooding over the horizon of trees - i find this image to be quite calming.

Its quite late & i'm a bit tired
my apologies for such a short burst of words.

Off to bed,
rabbit

steps? is it a path or something? looks like some kind of roof tiles to me. Nice those almost "touchable" sun rays. They can touch you, but you can't touch them.

It is interesting (and appealing) that the sun rays are so pronounced. Was it like this or is this some sort of pinhole effect?

@Martin: Nope they were like that. I think its harder to see them while looking at the sun with your eyes tho b/c its very bright. So when taking a photo toward the sun i just have to remember to expose it for less time. If you could filter a bit of the sun while looking at it, you would see sunrays more easily. I've taken several pinhole shots toward the sun now and many give me wonderful rays.

It really does look like those sun rays are pouring over the trees... Great pin hole, Rabbit. I find it quite up-lifting.

I was inspired by amy's comment so this song is for Her and You ! ;o)

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
