19-11 as about the afternoon clouds as a system bore down on the area. Looks like the clouds were caught between cumulus and stratus, or cumulustratus as I like to call it. I am sure there is a specific name for these clouds, but I just thought they looked cool. Taken with the 24-70mm at 45mm...

10-15 was about the red flash.

 

Looking to the northeast as the red headed into the area. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

Looking southwest as the red wwas retreating. I liked the way the red was intermittently painted in streaks across the sky. Taken with the 24-70mm at 57mm...

10-24 was a two-part experience behind the viewfinder.

 

Part A was at noon. An even patina of cirrus covered the Sun and left this nice partial 22 degree halo around the Sun. This was taken from my side yard and unfortunately has all the wires and trees in it. But it does give a better sense of scale. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

Part B was the normal post sunset. This was taken with the 100mm...

And more of a wide angle view. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm...

11-5 had so much going on. (One) it was the last time I was able to get to/ see the sunset after work on a work day because that night/ next morning the time change happened. (Two) The environmental conditions were a little difficult even though the images do not show it. There had been a potent frontal passage and the winds were still gusting in the 40's when taking these. Just walking to the overpass was a struggle and I had to keep the tripod unextended and low to the ground to keep it from tipping over. Getting myself down to a camera only 12" off of the ground isn't easy so any uneven horizons are all on me. (Three) There as a sharp cloud cut off that timed out close to perfect to make it one to remember.

 

When I arrived at the overpass looking east southeast. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

As the wild reds/pink/purples transit the area. Normally I try to pick an image that does not have any vehicles in it but the colors in this single image was too perfect, so the mommy van stays in. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm...

Extreme post sunset with color and crepuscular rays from over-the-horizon stuff. And some Star Wars lights from the interstate traffic in the foreground. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm...
