Saw this and had to take a shot. Here it is, courtesy of my trusty iPhone 5s. Metered off the bright white cloud on the left.

As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you. :smile:
Certainly worked out this time. Wearing sunglasses helped a lot, but even then it was really bright. It was a gorgeous sight.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for taking a look and for your comments.

Wow - from an iPhone :cool:

Very neat you were able to get this Sanjay! I like the negative space almost as much as I like the cloud. Gorgeous :toast:

Very nice! I really like how you can see the shadow of the cloud around the cloud's edge.

This works very well, Sanjay. Having the sun blocked really lets the crepuscular rays and the cloud shadow show up very well. Another fine reminder that it's not the camera that makes a great image, it's the brains behind the camera that frames the shot and knows how to take advantage of what the equipment offers.
