In 2011, the skies during the whole month of January was all cloudy. If I remember it right the cloudy days extended even beyond the month of February. I remember those days were always cloudy and DARK.
One morning, I believe it was the seventh of January (I named the file 10711), I saw the sun peeked through the thick clouds. I was on the second floor of a building at school and facing east. It was between 7 and 8 in the morning. I had a perfect view of the low lying sun. It was still cold but warmer than the previous days.
Luckily I had my digital camera with me at the time.
The covering cloud allowed me to look at the sun directly, and even take some photos of it. But the photos came out too bright. So I used my sunglasses as a filter.
The result… well… I will let you be the judge and kindly tell me what you think.
“There will always be the Sun behind the dark clouds”

great shot of the sun. The clouds are a good filter to block some of the rays!
Thanks. And that is true. I remember that I looked at the sun directly before I took some shots.
interesting effect, that must have been some pretty thick cloud cover!
Yup. The clouds were thick troughout the whole month during that year. But the additional effect is because of the sunglasses that I used as a make-shift filter.
Thanks, Tasartcraft. Well, the clouds are so thick that it created a natural filter. The sun, indeed look like a moon here.
You’re the first one to mention that.. Thatbpeism is an effect of the lens of the sunglasses that I used.
Thanks.
I have taken a lot of direct photos of the sun. Great job here.
Thank you, Carol. I posted this before on RG
beautiful prism around the sun. I was able to capture something like this as well. by phone camera.
