Hi,

I was cleaning up the welder's mask I have and decided that I should take a photo of the sun while the dark glass from the mask was out.

The following was taken while using my Pentax *ist DS at 300mm and 1/320 exposure at ISO200.

I reckon it turned out alright, just for a bit of mucking around.

Good effort, I actually tried that once, as i figured if a welding flash wont penetrate the welding mask glass, neither will the sun, good job.

Hi,

Thanks.

Now I just need to win that 600mm on ebay that I have been after, and then....:)

So does this shot imply that the Sun is also made of green cheese?

Probably not...but it does tell me that at some stage I am gonna have to spring for a PST.

An interesting shot. Is that a sunspot? I thought the sun is extremely quiet.

Hi,

Technically I would say that I have no idea, but no real reason to believe not. Maybe I am unlucky and it is just some dust on the lens :lol:
