This Morning's Crepuscular Rays!
I was lucky to get to see some beautiful crepuscular rays (or "God rays") in Historic Downtown Truckee, California this morning. Fortunately, I had a real estate shoot to get to, so I had my camera with me. I pulled over the car, slapped the polarizing filter on the lens, hopped out and got the shot! Lucky timing for this one.
Shot with the Canon R5 MarkII and a 24-105mm lens, set at 42mm. The ISO was 1000, the lens aperture was f/16, and it was 1/125 of a second long exposure. Handheld, with a polarizing filter.
I also grabbed a quick shot of a nearby church. Pretty happy with this one, too!
Thanks for looking, and I hope you all have a great day.
