bowtie` Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Another decent evolution this evening. The yellow flash... The orange flash... The red flash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Before dinner, I checked the vis satellite and thought the sunset would be a yammer here. Never thought the stuff to the northwest would be visible here. Walking out of the dining establishment I saw I was wrong. So I got to the pond a little bit late. The clouds were too far away for the 16-35mm So I went to the 100mm instead... Then to the north the color took off and the 100mm was a tad too much lens. And also the warehouse was in the way... Which was followed by the few clouds to the west going full on gak red... Glad I made it out there, was nice to see. But I was rushing and behind all night long with my choices and settings and it made for a rather frantic night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Tonight was all about the red flash. Here the red was just getting started on the edges... Max coverage of the reds... Here is a bit more magnification as the reds were departing. I like the roughness/definition of the clouds in this image... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Amazing sometimes how a sunset works. Like this evening. All the elements seemed to be there but it never really took off. What I started with, when I got to the pond... Close to local sunset... Last vestiges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 The last two nights of images here. Yesterday, fog hung on for most of the day, so convective temps were not reached when the Sun finally burned through late in the afternoon. Although there was no clouds there was plenty of moisture in the lower atmosphere. Made for a great gold/honey colored sky... This evening had plenty of clouds. Just some slight color off in the west... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 This is probably the last sunset image for awhile now. This evening's shot is the edge of an upper low that is sinking into the area. Would not surprise me if it is a week till the next available sunset.

bowtie` Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thanks ThePhoitoGuy. I got lucky this evening. There was a weakness in the weakness of the upper low and I had a clearing that worked west with the sunset. Worked out fairly decent for some images. The yellow flash... The orange flash... The red flash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Had another slight window of opportunity with small clearing in the upper low again this evening. Best color... Best design, but you need to view this at a distance. Too close and it does not look as good. Strange how some photos are like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Some broad but faint cloud shadows, I think from the tops of some build-ups in northern Missouri, that showed up in the moisture left over here from the upper low that is finally moving on.

bowtie` Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Still some moisture left over in the lower levels from that decayed upper low of last week, in this evenings post sunset... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 I do not know what it is about October, but these kinds of sunsets are not unusual. Just a few contrails... Local sunset... Max reds... Last vestiges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Looking southeast when I got to the pond this evening... Best color of the evening... Minimalist cloud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 This evening there was a south east breeze blowing. So I tried out the southern side of the pond. The bank is a lot steeper and I was not able to get as close to the water as I can from the middle or northern side. Of course with a stepper bank you get a better wind shadow so there is some good with the bad. Also the southern side has a lot of cattails along the bank. I was able to find a small break and shoot through it. But I still needed to do some odd cropping and a little bit of cloning. I am not very good at that stuff but as long as I do not print it out large, it will look at least some what decent. Local sunset (through the guardrail)...

bowtie` Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 The sunset this evening will have to be about the color and only the color. I made a rather blatant error. The wind was howling out of the west. I was using the six image average trying to smooth out some of the chop on the water. In that I was successful. But the clouds were moving rather rapidly in the breeze and all my shots were blurry, as far as the clouds go. So look at this with only an eye to the color.

bowtie` Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 October sunsets are so nice. I wonder why so many of them really pop. Whatever it is, it is a great time to be outside an enjoy these while they last. Sun above the horizon and white clouds... Post sunset and yellow clouds... Orange clouds... The red flash...

bowtie` Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Some thin and wispy from this afternoon... The sunset could not quite keep pace with last night. But it was another still night and there were some clouds to shoot, so I did make the effort... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Pre sunset the contrails were trying to grid out the sky... Local sunset... The red flash for the evening. THe way this cloud set up, it was directly overhead. So I was not able to get anything in the frame to give any frame of reference for the size. And the contrails kind of detract from the visual quality also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Tonight I had the proper number of jackets on. Two. But I did not have any gloves with me. My hands/fingers got all stiff and tingly painful. Going to have to remember to throw some gloves in the coat after I finish this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 While I was raking leaves this afternoon I kept noticing sundogs appearing and disappearing rather rapidly. Once I finished I took the camera to the square and used the courthouse to block the Sun while I tried to get some sundogs. THis is the best I could do... Tonight's post sunset orange flash...

bowtie` Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 The last sunset of Daylight Savings Time. I thought the best was earlier, pre-sunset, but that was just as I got off of work and was driving home. By the time I was able to get home and grab the camera, was only able to image post sunset. The best of the red flash... Say Goodnight Gracie. Look how blue the sky got... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
