   Brilliant - how do you manage to point your camera at the sun like that? I always worry about glare, burning out my camera chip, or worse still, my retina (at least on the SLR). I guess the glare I see on the LCD is perhaps just an artefact of the display.

   Thanks very much guys!

   Robep, I think (using a DSLR), it's ok to point the camera at the sun, provided you're exposing for it. The only time the sensor sees the sun is when you press the trigger, and then only for the "correct" amount of time, so it shouldn't do any damage. But yeah, I had spots in my eyes for a few minutes after that one. I was actually trying to get some flare and pointy bits coming from the sun (I originally tried f/22), but it just wasn't happening.

   Thanks Ed - I'll experiment next time I have the opportunity (but I get so much more mileage out of my compact just because of its convenience - I hardly ever seem to use the SLR except for special missions).
