Artist's Comments
Part of the Living Prairie Collection
I love the challenge that a shot like this creates. Its like stepping up to the plate or addressing the ball. Taken directly into the sun, it poses exceptional challenges. Retaining detail in the foreground as well as in the clouds requires careful exposure and processing. Because the light is entering directly into the lens (instead of being reflected), flares, image degradation and grain all become potential realties.
As I have commented so many times, photography is an exercise in compromises. Shots of this nature stress not only the skill of the photographer but more significantly the quality of the equipment. All of the issues and challenges are evident in this shot. Yet, it is still my hope that the right choices were made, to create an image which leaves you with the impression of the beauty of this day.

Laugh your head off! And then put it back on again ...
In my experience, any camera could do it. The trick is watching for flares, and getting the exposure right. The rest is all in the darkroom. (Computer in this case).
Try it...you might be very surprised at how well it turns out.

I found it hard to retain the subtle effects in the clouds and sky, but overall I am OK with the results...but I did have to process it more than one time. There was some learning that had to happen, and some time between trials to mentally process the results.
