Rays Of Light

The middle of February is a kind of dreary time of year.  Everyone is kind of tired of Winter by this point, there are no real colours to be seen and the sun can go days at time before appearing.  Never fear, your Friendly Neighbourhood Photographer is here.  I dug in to the archives to find this little shot of the sun that had just snuck behind the clouds during a Summer vacation day on the beach.  I had been following it in the sky and saw that nice puffy cloud crawling over and just waited for it to pass by.  A nice small aperture allowed me to grab those sharp rays and we got some little flares of colour in there as an added bonus.  The photograph was taken at f/16, 1/400sec, ISO 100 at 24mm.  Fear not sunshine lovers.  Your golden globe will be back soon enough to thaw you all out.
