Sun photograph Laguna Beach California - Photo taken by Robert Swetz 5-25-2011

I always enjoy taking photographs of the Sun, Moon, Sunsets, etc. and this photograph is really moving. As the sun was setting at Laguna Beach California I was experimenting with the sun between tree branches, in between palm trees and resting on top of plants like the photo above.

This photograph above is original and has not been doctored in any way, colors are all original, and YES that is the SUN looking like it’s either floating or resting in the middle of the bush, weed or flower.

I captured many photographs like this one, but this photo moved me enough to post it to the World Wide Web …

Hi Vegas Bob!

Have you been to Laguna lately? That is a gorgeous picture. How did you ever take it? I always say you can tell a professional by looking at the corners on work and for photographers I think sun shots tell the tale. I could never take that picture!

Good morning, VB. Good capture. It is difficult to shoot straight into the sun like that...

Stunning shot VB! You don't need to enhance your photos because you are such a great photographer you get the best photo out in the field! Love the way the sun looks like it sitting in the plant - such a dramatic effect!

Good mornin' VB--this is so cool. As a kid, I always took picture after picture of sunsets, sunrises, was completely enamored. This weed is familiar to me. I have some shots with a spider web and dew captured across it's stems, will have to find it and send it.

Put this one on your wall. It'll make you happy every time you look at it.
