...the two jpeg images that follow (as well as this one posted yesterday on cr) were acquired on the spur-of-the-moment, a few feet in front of our home's front door--shooting (near 1pm, hand-held, no filter, P mode and a bit of exposure compensation) south over the roofline after finishing a bit of snow-shoveling.
I grabbed the camera because the sun, peeking in an out of a quite gray snow sky, looked oddly like the moon (to my eyes)...and just fiddled with the exposure compensation to fight overexposure...hoping to get a unique view of our star.
Here are some results (straight out of camera more-or-less):
I presume that sunspots are in evidence--a total surprise to me--the kind of surprise that keeps me interested in photography, and in particular, imaging birds, where on more than one occasion I've peeked at surprise creatures in images where said creatures were not the intended subject.
The sky was a bit odd yesterday at the time of shooting. Presumably there's a word for this sky. I will look for it in the future.
