Sunrise this morning

There has been very few opportunities this year to take a Sunrise but this one this morning was beautiful as it shone right through the window and the room was bathed in an orange glow

 

Good morning @Fern4 @Joolz and @Anzia and thank you my friends, it is a very serious question my friend and one to be aware of,fortunately I have a flip out screen on mu DSLR which means that although the camera is pointing directly at the sun I am only looking at the flip out screen,I also wear light reacting photo chromic lenses,

WARNING
For one, most digital SLRs have a mirror in the viewfinder, and it actually covers up the sensitive equipment most of the time. It also redirects the sun’s light away from the sensor and through the viewfinder. So when you’re looking at the sun through your camera, you’re only damaging your eyes. It’s not until you actually take the picture that you’re exposing your camera’s image sensor to the sun’s harmful rays.

So point one – Never look through the viewfinder of your camera when it’s pointed directly at the sun. You’ll do damage to your eyes.


Unlike digital SLRs, most point-and-shoot cameras keep the shutter open the entire time you’re using them and there’s no mirror to redirect the sun’s light. The image sensor and the screen on the back are linked together. It sees what the sensor sees. So if you’re pointing your point-and-shoot at the sun for any period of time, you’re probably damaging it.

There’s a simple rule of thumb for all of this. If something is so bright that it hurts your eyes to look at it, that thing will probably damage your camera too. Protect your eyes! Avoid looking at the sun in the middle of the day (sunset and sunrise are okay but still be careful). Practice common sense, and you’ll have your camera and your eyes to enjoy it for years to come.

 

Good morning all
