choice number two if showing the very first attempt...

In the UK we would say " this is the first time I've (ever) tried to take a picture of the sun".

Definitely the second one.
The first one is typical of the Romance languages - French, Spanish, Italian, etc. The third one may be heard from time to time in US English.
