Day 35-Back of the Sun
Here’s a shot I took with my Nikon D200 & Nikon 15000mm Super-telephoto. I was lucky enough to have been able to attach my camera and lens to the side of a Saturn V booster rocket just as it was leaving Cape Canaveral.
The booster was headed around the sun, so I set the shutter-timer to snap the here-to-fore unseen back of the sun. The shutter speed was 1/1,000,000th of a millisecond at f200.
No additional processing or Photoshopping was done to this image.
Happy April 1st!

It’s a little grainy, no?

Hey, I’d like to see you take a picture from 1.52 x 10\8 kilometers away and see how much atmospheric disturbance you get….picky, picky, picky…
