bowtie` Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 A week ago, on 4-3. As I was heading to a morning errand, I walked out the back door and saw this. Turned around and grabbed the camera and took some sunrise shots from the alley behind the house. So the house, trees and wires are part of the scenery. Looking east, through the neighbors porch. Taken with the 24-70mm at 67mm... Looking south as the color as zipping past. I like howw you can see the clouds at the bottom are lit up while the clouds above it (top of image) are blocked and in the shadow and still white. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 After the tornado in the area earlier in the day 4-5, the clearing line as the system departed hit the area right at sunset. The yellows as the Sun found the opening. Taken with the 24-70mm at 63mm... A broader overview as the actual clearing became visible and the oranges were starting. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... As the deep orange arrived. Taken with the 24-70mm at 41mm... Good night my darl'in, wherever you are... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 On 4-6 the system was still to my east but not far enough away to not give me some high clouds and with the severe clear west of me, it meant another colorful evening post sunset. Starting off looking north at the backside of the firehouse and as the orange started. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm (cropped in camera)... A look west not long after. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm (cropped in camera)... As the red was coming into frame. Taken with the 100mm... As the red was departing the area. Taken with the 100mm (cropped in camera)... Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 4-7 was a copy-cat sunset. A look west as the Sun touched the horizon. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm... A look north as the red was creeping into the area. Pastel shades galore. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm (cropped in camera)... The color on the horizon. taken with the 100mm... Copy-cat Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 4-9 was an approaching system sunset and a study on the point of patience with some sunsets. There was plenty of cirrus as the Sun got closer to all the gunk on the horizon as I got out to the overpass. Taken with the 24-70mm at 28mm... Trust me the light faded rapidly as the Sun sank lower. But for some reason I stayed for the last visible wavelength. Good thing I did. Later, after I got home, I saw on the visible satellite that a clear donut-hole opened up in way western Iowa. The result was a red flash that erupted from nowhere. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm (cropped in camera)... Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm (cropped in camera)... A good-to-the-last-drop sunset! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 4-10 was another seven hours of looking up. The early afternoon cirrus and a partial 22 degree halo around the Sun. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... Sometimes there is a contrail problem here in the Midwest. Taken with the 24-70mm at 38mm... The orange entering the area. Looking south. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm... The red entering the area. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... The late red exiting the area to the west. Taken with the 24-70mm at 45mm... Cheers!

bowtie` Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 Been knee deep in bloom pics so I have gotten ay, way behind in my cloud pics. Going to add another day here. This was from 4-13. Some nice color. Started off ho-hum after the sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... The red as it was creeping into the skies looking south. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... A close-up of the stuff at the bottom of the previous image, but just a tad later hence more red. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm... And the finishing color on the horizon west. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Only, two weeks behind now. This is from 4-14. I do remember racing after dinner trying to get to this sunset. I probably should have just gone to the municipal lot, which is a lot closer, but I drove all the way out to the firehouse and literally had to plop the camera down beside the car in the parking lot to get this single image. So please excuse if the horizon is a little unlevel and any other imperfections. Taken with the 24-70mm at 44mm (cropped in camera)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
