I had actually done this when I was fooling around being stupid. Crossed polarised 2 filters and took a picture looking directly at the sun in late afternoon. Looked ok and actually won a prize at the local show. Pics taken with a ME super. cica mid 80's. http://www.eftel.com.au/~sup8pdct/ Took this with K100D, straight from camera no size crop etc. Apologise for size of it in advance. Don't have scanner so is best I could do despite dust flecks and stored in a box with several 100 others.
