Would love to shoot the sun and capture those rays! What settings can I use to create a sunburst?
Thanks |

You can always try bracketing.

Try using a small aperture (f/16 or smaller on a DSLR) and at a small angle to the sun rather than directly into it. The sunburst effect is related to the number of petals used in the lens iris, as well as their shape.

I took a picture the other evening of the sun coming through the trunks of some trees (not posted) - practicing silhouettes. To my surprise, it had a lovely sunburst (and a not-so-lovely lens flare)! My camera (Canon T3), was set on full auto, I do believe.
Also, I know they make (or used to anyway) filters for this purpose, that you put on the end of your lens. |
