First image of the year. Taken Saturday evening. Can not get home from work and outside till after sunset still yet. But there was some wispy's out and after a three month lay-off it was good to be behind the camera again.

As usual will be deleting the 2015 thread to make room for these images.

I have been slacking as far as atmospherics images. Almost been a month since my last ones. Guess I better remedy that. This was from today after work. There was a slight breeze ruffling the water, that and wayward geese plus pesky muskrat. So the reflection images are not perfect.

Almost been another month since this was last revisited. About time to make a foray out to the retention pond again. Approaching systems do not give the best sunsets but this one was decent enough. At least this time I remembered the six image average, when the geese messed up the water this time.

Sometimes approaching systems can give a decent sunset. All depends on the timing.

Here is what I started with at local sunset. Nothing real special...

But a bit later as the reds came on, it really took off. The first decent color and relatively still evening...

After dinner, I noticed some clouds hanging around, so I headed out to the retention pond in case it got interesting.

Looking east and up when I got to the pond. Up because at 16mm the cloud at the top was basically straight overhead.

The view west when I got there. Nothing special but it does show what piqued my interest.

Max dynamics. Calmed down a little bit but not quite still.

The last of the color leaving the sky. Say goodnight Gracie.

Last image of the Spring clouds.

Pre-storms from the early afternoon. Does it look hot and humid? It was.

First image of Summer clouds.

Post storm. Was hoping for a rainbow but all I could get was the backside of the receding build-up.

This first image is from yesterday, around noon. I was on my way back from the camera shop when I ran across this oat field. I have tried to get an oat /cloud field image for a number of years now. The green of oats is so vivid and unique that I knew it would make for a good combo. Finally got a decent combo of field/sun/cloud orientation.

This was the local sunset this evening...

post-671-0-51557300-1467255370_thumb.jpg

Once the sun set, the dry air started winning and I only ended up with these two clouds left for the orange flash...

A nice evening for sunset watching. Perfect temps. Nothing special, but some wispy clouds. It might have been a tad breezy and that kind of messed up any attempts at reflection images. But over-all I still would give it a steady 8.75.

Local sunset...

Red flash...

post-671-0-95074500-1468121238_thumb.jpg

Post post sunset and kind of a funky green cast on the right side of this image. I wonder if there was a green flash but with my horizon being blocked maybe I could not see it.
