Crepuscular Rays. Credit: Stefano De Rosa
Stefano De Rosa did not waste any time and immediately grabbed his camera to take a shot of this stunning view of crepuscular rays on August 17, 2009.
Crepuscular rays are defined as rays of sunlight which radiate from a certain point in the sky. They usually happen when mountains or clouds partially cover the Sun’s rays.
“I captured these crepuscular rays during my summer holidays in Isola d’ Elba, the island in front of Tuscany, Italy. The scene I attended was stunning, as huge blue beams were spreading all over the sky.”
Stefano used the a Canon EOS 1000D camera at ISO 100, exp. 1/10 second and F/3.5.
