Solar Crosshairs

Just another example of why you should carry your camera wherever you go. This shot was taken when I was out playing golf with my friend in Atlanta, GA. A couple of planes had trailed white smoke creating a criss cross pattern in the sky. I had to walk half a mile to get the sun exactly in the intersection of the trails. Taking a picture of the sun is always difficult and for this shot I had to point it directly at the sun. The direct light blocked the bright blue of the sky but it didn't matter because the cross hair effect was the main subject of this shot anyways.
