bowtie`

Departing system here again this evening. While not perfect, it was good enough for a small vivid red flash. Here is an overview at 35mm... And a more detailed look at 100mm...

It has been awhile. The time change helps. Not being sick anymore helps even more. The upper sixties helped the most. When I got to the pond. I liked the depth, the contrail remnants provided. That and there is a very, very slight partial halo and sundogs. Although those might be lost in the reduction for the site... About as good as the color was going to get to the west once the Sun disappeared behind the clouds... Looking to the east. I kind of went overboard with the blue in this one, But the cloud colors are real close It is what it is....

Departing system attempt this evening. The winds were still cranking at the time and it made it difficult to stand/kneel to take the shots. Also a windchill of 20 made me leave early to get back inside the warm car.

First time out at the pond for this year. Some nice color post sunset. As usual, thanks for all the views in the 2018 thread. I will be deleting those to make room of this years images as they come along.

The sine wave with the roofing material of that bike/bus stop awning at the very beginning was amazing from a physics/ math point of view.

Nice eye candy. Is that your footage before the head-banging started, or is it stock footage from someone else?

Pay more attention to birds.
