Hi all, seen this site linked to a Lens Review site and thought to investigate further ?
My intial upload pic here is whats known as a Solar Halo which are caused by high altitude Ice Crystals ! its always a challenge taking & processing these Halos as detail in the cloud structure is seldom obvious.
Hope you find it worth a look ?

Very effective and a bit scary in these "post-end-of-the-world" times.
This is one awesome looking photo but I don't understand that ur shutter speed was 1/1000 as its a low light image, I'm guessing you have an awesome camera, I doubt I could take this shot so well with my camera, please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm fairly new to photography, any advice would be appreciated
I haven't seen those halos before, do you check the astronomy sites to know when to expect this type of event?
Will see you around the site

I appreciate the comments all, Quite a surreal scene in the way I have presented it, apocalyptic almost ? Halos can be quite striking at times, next best thing down here compared to them Northern Aurora Light shows, whooot !

Thanx Ava, tho this is Not a low light Image, I think it is just the way Ive processed it in photoshop, The sun and clouds (ice crystals) in this case produce a lot of light, hence camera settings, ISO 100; Av 11, so not very wide aperture; & 1000th exposure ! The foreground trees are naturaly silhouette and the top corners I have killed the exposure levels to add 'POP' to the Halo circle !
No astro site needed to find them, More of a weather occurance than anything, Keep an eye out with those days that have high thin cirrus clouds, So many people seldom look up, be surprized at what is missed , ,
Happy Hunting
Bob
