Projected image of the sun through cheapo binoculars. Shot this morning.

Please DO NOT attempt to photograph the sun direct.

Wow first time I seen anyone done this,
can you tell me fully how you did this?

Way cool. I would be interested in knowing the "how" myself.

Balance a pair of binoculars on the back of an easy chair in front of an open south facing window. Line up binoculars so they throw an image of the sun onto the floor where you have a clean sheet of paper on a propped up clipboard. Draw the curtains around the binoculars to cut out as much excess light as possible. Focus the image with the focus adjustment of the binoculars. Crawl onto floor with G3 and shoot the image while trying not to cast your own shadow. Be quick because the image moves fast!

Good luck.
