I had way too much fun shooting into the sun. When the subject has real character, it doesn�t care where the sun sits. You just have to make the composition work.

Looking up? Praying?

ILCE-1M2 FE 600mm F4 GM OSS lens 600mm f/4.0 1/800s 800 ISO 0.0 EV

shooting straight into the sun is fun (at sunrise)

ILCE-1M2 FE 600mm F4 GM OSS lens 600mm f/4.0 1/4000s 2000 ISO 0.0 EV

Foreground blur with foliage

ILCE-1M2 FE 600mm F4 GM OSS lens 600mm f/4.0 1/2500s 1000 ISO 0.0 EV

2 steps up and the entire color palette changes...

Sometimes it pays to break the rules, and this was one of them! Awesome set, and the first two are truly special.

These are beauty's. Lighting makes them special. I used to shoot them at Zanjero Park in Gilbert for years while visiting my daughter, but the last few years have been hugely disappointing. Ive been going now to Scottsdale. We're these at Zanjero?

Thank you. They were permanently relocated out of Zanjero I was told. These were taken in the scottsdale location.
