The 22 Degree Halo

I was sitting outside reading when the clouds finely moved out from over top of me and this rush of warm light beamed down. When I looked up I saw the huge halo around the sun. The halo was well pronounced, so I rushed inside to grab my camera and capture it.
While I was outside with the camera I thought I would take some other photos of various objects while there was super good light. I thought I would try some micro photography with a wide angle lens and see how far I could push its boundaries. Sticking a lens less than 2 cm away from the subject was very interesting because even though the camera was telling me that the object was out of focus and the motion sensor was off the scale, the image turned out not to badly anyway.
