About After the light snow storm we had today, the clouds slowly started breaking up. I put the ND filter built into the Canon G5 on to see how it would do shooting directly at the sun coming through the clouds. Obviously, it made the image a lot darker, but I like the result. I also used spot metering directly at the sun, which also helped in making this image as dark as it is. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.

I am a great fan of clouds and you have portrayed their emotional beautifully.

Thankyou also, for commenting on my image "Please don't end your life like this". It was very appreciated.

I disagree with Chris while its probably not at all how it looked in person, dude if we were only to document what was there we wouldn't be expressing what we saw. cameras would only need automatic mode and no zooms of filters, I believe changing the image to be more the part of it you saw is often the point, every one could look at a sun set and see something different, perhaps Paul was trying to express what he saw

Beautiful dramatic sky. The exposure worked well here. Nice work.

Paul -
Very cool shot. Sunset/sunrise aside, it's not often that people try to shoot directly into the sun. I've tried it myself with mixed results (thus only one into-sun shot posted on UF), but I think this shot works well. I really like the contrast between the light opening and the dark clouds. Probably not at all how it looked in person, but it's great on film (or digital in this case). Is the sun about to be swallowed by darkness...is it forcing it's way through? There seems to be a struggle between light and dark in the image, which makes it very dynamic, even without an explicit sense of movement. I guess it would be even better it there was more detail in the dark clouds, but that is a limitation of the camera and digital media in general - not much you could have done about that. Nice work!
Regards,
Chris

Hallo Paul! Very dramatic and heavy this sky! It looks beautiful also like a nature - cloud abstract. Very good looking sunlight without very bright - overexposed parts.
