I took an online photography course this spring and one of the lessons was on using a telephoto lens and photographing the sun and moon. I don't have a real telephoto lens so I practiced with my camera's 3x optical zoom lens. In the area where I live now it's hard to find a place to capture a good sunset shot and I'm not much of a morning person so getting organized for photography at dawn is pretty much out of the question. So no sun photos for the course homework. I also tried photographing the moon but none of the pictures turned out.
I had to try again.
In May I visited my hometown on the shores of Lake Huron, a great location for sunset photography. I did have a two good sunset evenings and also tried again for pictures of the moon.
Then, after my return to Vancouver Island, I photographed a sun halo that occurred on May 25th. Cool, eh?
