Well, we may have to evacuate . . . so this may be it for a while. The fire is coming down the mountain 100 yards in about 20 seconds they estimate. Scary. On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 8:57 PM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
Well, you can see what era I'm from!!! They didn't have such newfangled stuff when I was a young'un. Seriously, I should have known you and my other amateurs would know how to take care. Thanks, Joe

I didn't have to look at the sun through the camera. A digital display off to the side did that and it was turned the other way for the sun was to my back.

Yikes, watch out taking photos of the sun! Even though the smoke cuts out a lot of the light, I doubt it's enough to protect your eyes much. Be careful, everyone -- Joe

Williams coming through it was erie as we drove home from an afternoon up in the canyons of American Fork and such to see the light of the sun dim like during an eclipse. So we pulled over and the sun was blood red and we took these images through our digital camera. I think they are kinda of cool so I though I would share them.
