Juliancolton Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think this "rule" now applies to lesser-quality cameras, like small point-and-shoots, where such a strong source of light will inevitably wash-out/overblow the entire shot. It's significantly less of a problem with modern DLSRs, especially if you're familiar enough with the camera to adjust things like the exposure compensation.

michsnowfreak Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I always heard its not good to stare at the sun with your eyes, but didnt know it wasnt good for a camera. I dont do it often, but i did do it last month one time. Camera a-ok still! 12-14-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Cool shot michsnowfreak! And you have no serious flares! It is *leaning* just a bit I still like it. Damage can happen to your eyes but the most damage use to occur way back in the day when the view screen was not in the optical path. When that was the case, the whole time you were composing your shot, the lens was focusing the sun on the shutter blinds and you could warp them. The SLR changed that alot in that the mirror protects the shutter blinds. Now that people are gravitating to just looking at the LCD viewscreen, if they get rid of the standard viewfinder, the problem will come back.
