Gen, If your camera does have manual exposure controls, use smallest aperture and longest exposure. If it's over exposed, reduce the length of the exposure.

I accidentally photographed sunspots once with my old Sony Hx1, some 2 years ago.

The images are a bit blurry because I wasn't shooting sunspots. I was just shooting sunsets. Later when I viewed them on the computer I was intrigued by a dark spot that appeared on each shot at exactly the same position on the face of the sun. A quick visit to SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids confirmed my suspicion - it was a sunspot!

Blackpearl,
:wow: that's nice... I really wanted to shoot venus transit last June. I even got up early, but I had some other work to do on that day... :(

Nice click rockstar.
@ clickclick: the candle itself seems to be somewhat out of focus but not it's flame.

Thanks for the tip on aperture. I guess reducing exposure time won't help, I won't get enough trails.

@clickclick - The candle shot is quite good.

Gen,
Reduce the exposure only if you're getting over exposed shots... If you're trying this in bright lit condition, then you need ND filter.
