Sun Halo Wonder
I saw something incredible in the sky and it took my breath away. There was a beautiful rainbow all around the sun. Many people were going about their day, not noticing anything unusual right above their heads. I stood in awe, as I captured the sky wonder. I noticed this beauty only last year, and since then I see sun halos several times per year.
To shoot a sun halo is pretty complicated because of its gigantic size. Plus, it is a bit boring if we capture it only on photograph, especially if the rainbow is faint. So, how to capture this beauty that would fill our minds with wonder? Here are some ideas:
As in every photo, composition makes up a picture.
This is my very first time when I saw a Sun Halo.
I stopped by palm trees to get some composition.

Greeting the sun. It was not easy to make this shot because I was out in the open without a tripod. So, I put my camera down, and gently leaned it against a taller grass. I lined it up towards the sun, but not sure 100% what I was shooting. I came toward the camera, extended my arms and voila! I got this shot. Experimenting sometimes works.

Here I aligned a glossy paper heart’s hole with a sun to get this magical effect. This is by far my most favorite capture.
So next time if you see a sun halo, what can you create?
