Shooting into the Sun (photo lesson #1)

Since I promised to teach on this Blog as well as share photos, her goes...
I used a digital Point & Shoot camera for my Whistler photos. It is easy to shoot into the sun when photographing the sky. There are two things you have to remember.
1) Move the camera around your scene a bit. After each change of position push the shutter down 1/2 way. You will see the image lighten and darken. The camera is adjusting the amount of light it will permit into the camera. Find the point as to where the exposure looks correct, keep your finger on the shutter button 1/2 way and re-adjust your composition. Take photo. Make sure after you find the proper exposure to not let go of the shutter button but to then reposition your composition and finish the job.
