The sun was setting behind the western skyline of Tel Aviv, about to sink into the Mediterranean Sea. I stretched my arm way out to the right over a friend's seventh floor balcony rail, pressed the button, and apparently captured about half of the sun.
Doesn't the photo look like someone took a bite out of the wall?!
Is this what photographers call lens flare?

ReplyDeleteLovely picture! Isn't it great when we can just stretch out a hand and capture?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the sun disappears behind the wall. Very unique!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what that effect is called but it is great. Beautiful photo of the city and the sky beyond it.
ReplyDeleteYap, it did appear that way. You be very careful next time.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely capture of your sky. Happy SWF Dina.

What a lovely surprise! I don't know what causes it, but the effect is great! Good Sky Watch, Dina.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they call it, but it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDoes sort of look like there's a bite in the wall. Great capture. Almost surreal with the cloud motion causing the buildings to look distorted.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I like the rays, the tones and contrasts, and the perspective.
ReplyDeleteNice shot Dina!
ReplyDeleteFun capture - the view was certainly much better looking westward from Tel Aviv today than eastward as I did.
ReplyDeleteDina: What a beautiful sunset on the city. You ended up with a great capture without falling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. God works in strange ways. Without the silly fainting incident, I would have been walking around with the chance of a heart attack.
This is a really wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteI love those suprise moments that show up in any sort of art.
Congrats to you for capturing such a great moment in time.
Shalom from Arizona,and thanks for reading my blog.
Much love,
