Have you ever tried to photograph the beauty of the sun’s rays shining through the clouds and been frustrated by the result?

I remember the first time I tried, over 15 years ago with my first digital camera, the Canon A40, and I got pretty lucky in that I got the shot before the moment disappeared!

Arjun Pai hasn’t been so lucky yet and was wondering how to be prepared to photograph the sun’s rays. Here’s Arjun’s question:

“I have been trying to capture rays of sun through clouds (like the image attached) and as you would understand, the moment does present itself on a daily and timely basis and even if does present itself, does not last for long. By the time you have your setting changed, tried a couple of shots, boom its gone. Would appreciate your thoughts and inputs on this”

As I explain in the video, how you go about this is pretty straightforward. Watch the video to get all the details!
