Sunstar Over the Descent Line
Backlit grass done right — a clean sunstar on the ridgeline, gold filaments below.
Shooting straight into the sun usually buys a ruined frame — this time the Ace Pro handed back a clean star sitting right on the ridgeline. Seven minutes and one switchback lower than the last shot, and the whole hillside went to gold filaments. Rode away before the flare could change its mind.
