A friend let me borrow his 400mm lens and I decided to take a picture of the sun. Cropped 100% with very little post processing. Hope you like it!

i've always been curious about the filters used to take photos of the sun.
It seems to have worked well for you. :D

Someone has too much nitrogen in their bloodstream...

You're lucky the sun was smiling. If he's unhappy and you take a direct photo he burns your retinas and camera sensor out.

It looks a little soft to me? Perhaps it's just my monitor!

Excellent photo, I saw the sun look sort of like that once in 1972.

Hopefully you are not using LiveView while shooting directly into the sun like that....you could end up damaging your sensor ;)

I think I see some signs of chromatic aberration (orange fringing), better check your lens.

Or too much nitrous in their atmosphere...

Nice framing, fill flash?

Lol....I think he's referring to my user name. Nitrox is a mixed gas (nitrogen and oxygen) used in scuba diving. And yes, fill flash. LOTS of it! :)
