The colours are amazing, was it 10-22mm you were using for some of those?
Yes, most were shot with the 10-22

Did you stitch numbers 1-4? How did you get that great flare in number 3?
And number 5 is amazing.
Nope, didn't stitch any of them. I just cropped them to give them the feel of a panoramic shot. I got the flare in number 3 strictly because of my position and the timing of the sun rising between the rocks. A littl skill, but lots of luck for sure.

Nice ones JP, i liked the 4th and 5th one.
Also, how did you take picture of sun with any flares showing up, what were the settings?
I don't recall the exact settings, although you could find the exif on my Pbase page if your interested. A few reasons I believe I was able to do this was for one, I underexposed the pictures by anywhere from 1 to 2 stops. The other thing I did was to meter off the mountains or rocks in the foreground. Between focusing on the near and then underexposing I was able to get the sun without flare. The other thing that I think was really key, the time of day. It was at sunrise, when the sunlight is really soft.
