The sun sank into a thick haze but the air was steady enough to allow a clear image showing two groups of sunspots on the upper half.
Never look at the sun through any optical device at sunset. It might be dim in visible light but be powerfully bright in harmful infra-red.
Our ascent from Gepatschspeichersee (1,800m) to Schwarzsee (2,600m) was - as already written yesterday - unfortunately not accompanied by the best weather conditions. To be honest, the conditions were bad, so that we had to stop at around 2,400m due to the weather. However, the individual sunspots that occasionally made it through the snow and fog clouds were beautiful, even if rare.
The sun lit up the grange and the Rudolphstein Castle. It was still cold, but in the next few days spring weather is forecast.
Maybe the weather will be better tomorrow. The sun has announced today that it will be more springier tomorrow

Sometimes, what normally we consider an obstacle, turns out to be a great opportunity. When this photo was taken, the mist caused by water vapour was so intense that it was possible to photograph the sun at the sunset highlighting the sunspots, without using any filter. The photo is the result of a single shot.

fyi . . . the "spot" on the sun is indeed a "sunspot", when I originally uploaded this shot I had deleted the spot . . . until I realized what I had done . . . LOL!!
This is a photo I took last summer of a spot of sun shining on a green patch on Pilatus. I liked this small green spot right under the massive mountain flank of bare rock.

At a location I didnt think I'd get the sun, the clouds parted for the natural spotlight to shine for just a moment.
With a bit of help from smoke haze from fires out west, for the first time I was able to photograph sunspots. Sunspot area AR2674 is near the center, about three earth diameters across.
I just finished working on a series taken on May 16th, 2023. Visible sunspots captured from my Orland Park backyard in Cook County, Illinois, USA. *Lines over the surface are passing clouds. Solar activity has continued to peak with solar flares and sunspots making for some amazing views with the right equipment.
Sunspot AR3302 is a faint spot, while AR3305 is a more visible cluster of sunspots, which can be seen in the larger images in this collage. These shots are not photoshopped and were taken handheld.

After several people have photographed the sun showing the large sunspot it has these days, I took out the sun filter, that I made for the sun eclipse last year, and photographed it as well. It is huge and beautiful.

We had some amazing sunsets every night as seen from the back garden of our self catering accommodation on North Uist.

This wide angle lens adapter does have a learning curve. It's better if subject matter is at a distance but in this instance I love the movement created by the curvature in the landscape and the clouds overhead with the sun breaking thru. The blurriness on the sides is problematic but cropping it doesn't make me happy. I still like it, except for the fact the intense blur on the right keeps pulling my eye over there. I cannot wait to get a real wide angle lens.
