This is one of my all-time favorite photos. It was an extremely bright day, and I was walking around the UNL campus with my camera. It was too bright to look up comfortably, so I tilted the camera upward and used the LCD to take a few pictures of the clouds. I was a little worried about damaging the camera by pointing it directly at the sun, but it survived the ordeal. I'm quite pleased with the result, despite the cheesy name I gave the series of photos.

This was a 1/1000-second exposure at F/11.3 and ISO 100 on my old camera. I don't think the new camera could have done much better, but it would have been a little less grainy and a bit more detailed.
