Sunrise Photography Safety
I don’t have to say to be careful when taking photographs of the sun, do I? After some deliberation, I believe it needs to be said:
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN.
I know this is difficult, especially when the sun is the main character in your photograph. And, I must admit, that I sometimes don’t follow my own advice. Afterwards, I worry about sun damage to my eyes.
You can get severe damage to your eyes if you stare at the sun, even when it is low on the horizon.
That’s another reason a cloudy sky makes a good sunrise photograph: you are protected from damage to your eyes.
