Setting sun

I captured this image during sunset in Saint Germain, WI. I liked how it looked as the sun slipped behind the trees.

D500, 200-500mm @ 500mm, f/22, 1/1250sec, ISO 100

Love it.

Did you use a solar filter or anything for this?

Thanks! I didn't use any filter. By this time the sun is so low that the atmosphere dims it enough. I do have a solar filter, but it would have been way too dark. In retrospect, I wish I would have used a faster shutter so I could have brought my aperture down to f/9 or 11 do eliminate diffraction.
