This was a fun assignment (See the assignment here!) although I didn’t have much time to complete it. I snapped this as the sun was setting in our neighborhood while I was supposed to be watching Dora with my 3 year old. I was sitting on the couch so you are looking out of my den windows.
Shutter Sisters asked us to try the “other end of the spectrum” by shooting with our F-stop high (narrow) instead of low (wide open). I admit, that like Sarah I love shooting with a 1.8 (lowest my camera lenses will take me) f-stop. But after admiring her photo at the link above I had to try this. 10 minutes later this is what I had.
This is what Sarah had to say about shooting at the narrow end of the aperture range (f-stop)
“The narrower the aperture, the longer the exposure you can use, and that’s how you get those lovely rays in the form of star-shaped flares”
Canon Xti
Aperture at 29
Shutter way down to 3.2

Isn’t it cool? I love the starry sun!
That one really tells a story. Looks light the light is just shining right in on you!
