Atmosphere

Caught today while hiking and the other on the way home.
What a great day!

C&C appreciated.

Looks like it was a nice day in Idaho. The sunset is amazing, I like the low angle you shot it from.

Love those sundogs Clarence. Those are hard to capture. I saw one the other day and all I got was an overexposed cloud! You must be more limber than I. I would never have been able to get down so low for that sunset shot.

NaCl(Well, actually I could have gotten down that far...its the getting back up that's the problem)H2O

Of the two C's that you requested, Clarence, one is not needed (C for critique, that is), the other one is, and it says that these are a couple of great shots.

Thanks for the eye-candy. :-)

Cheers,

Both lovely shots - well done Clarence

Congratulations, Clarence! Great shots!

Duh_Vinci · 03-17-2007, 04:04 AM

Great captures, absolutely love the sunset!

Clarence,

The rainbow effect coming out of the clouds in the first shot, was that photoshopped in?

The second one was great too.

Both shots had such great colour! Thanks for sharing!

I especially like #2 - of course, I am a sucker for those sunset images - bad weakness of mine...

I'd like to see a bigger image of #2... ???

Cheers,
Marc

Although I really like the sunset I don't think that I've ever seen clouds like your first pictures making it my #1 choice

clarenceclose · 03-17-2007, 06:58 PM

Thank you all. You are most kind.

I knew the first picture was something but in my mental lapse I could not remember what it was called. Thank you Salty. By the way it was a bit of an effort for me to get up off the ground encumbered with camera and old body too.

Alvin: Definitely not photoshopped in. A natural phenomena. See below.

Looked it up for those curious folks:
Sun dog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sun dog or sundog (scientific name parhelion) is a relatively common atmospheric optical phenomenon associated with the refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals that make up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.

Clarence,
#2 is great. Can always count on you to get the right composition.

Regards,

Alvin, I see them all the time with my sunglasses on... but hardly ever without.

Clarence: awesome captures - did you use any sort of filters or anything on the sun dog picture?

Polarizing filter and cranked the EV down for a variety of shots.
Saw it with my plain cheap blue sunglasses too so proceeded with the camera work from there.

I thought you probably had a polarizer on. (which I believe is why the sunglasses bring them out so well too...) Must get a polarizer again soon, I lost mine last year on a hike.
