Obviously the sun would be blown out. I measured incident, dome
down to camera and then closed 1/2 stop (in shutter speed). From
there I bracketet down in 2/3 stop (shutter speed) increments for
these 4 shots. (As scanned, reduced in size and USM'd, no changes
to levels or color).

I prefer 0005, even then the 'darker' leaves appeared more yellow
(transparent) in 'real' life.

28-70 f/2.8 at a widish FL; E100GX; f/11 around 1/125.


0005 or 0009, I'm leaning towards 0009. The sunburst is the primary
subject of the image, the eye-catcher, and the deeper contrast of 0009
enhances this a bit more. But yes, the color of the leaves is better in
0005.

In 0009 the flare jumps out a bit more too, but buried in the leaves
as it is this is hardly a major bad point.

Bug in the sky in 0005?
