Day 327: Experimenting With The Sun

I thought I'd experiment with the manual settings on my Nikon and try taking a photo of the sun today. I think it worked out pretty well and I like how the sun has the rays coming out of it like you'd see in a kids drawing. The settings I used were: ISO 100, F/16 and the shutter speed was 1/320. Most of the settings don't really mean that much to me but I figure it's worth making a note of them in case I want to shoot directly into the sun again.

Day 215: Cold

The car has been living outside since I got it back because we still haven't sold the Commodore. This morning I was greeted by a roof lined with small, spiky icicles when I went out to put Henry in the car. At least the windscreen was clear, our driveway catches the morning sun and it had managed to defrost the windscreen but hadn't worked its way up to the roof yet. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come tomorrow when I'll be heading out on the bike at 7am.
