bowtie` Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 A lot of contrast in the early morning sky here in central Indiana this morning. Thanks for all the views in the 2017 thread. And as usual will be deleteing the 2017 images to make room for the 2018 ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 A little bit of color in the sky during the sunset this evening. Probably should have made a trip out to the pond but I just took this from the front yard with all the buildings in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Made it out to the pond for the sunset this evening. Got lucky that the retreating system hung on just long enough to give me some clouds to shoot. The bad news is that the breeze was up so no reflections stuff. The good news just running a straight lens without any filters allowed me to be spot on with the color. Started off at sunset with the clouds still white overhead.. The start of the orange overhead... The red was not quite as intense as I hoped. It was all kind of subtle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Made it out to the pond for the sunset this evening. What I started with as the post sunset began... As you can see, the breeze was up and I was not sure if the color would progress anymore. Luckily, the color did at least try and with the coming darkness the breeze did calm down a bit. So I was able to try some reflection images. Here was the best contrast... And here was the best color. I can not figure out which of the two I like better...

bowtie` Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Kind of figured the sunset would be iffy, but I was out there just in case. Pre-sunset when I got out to the pond... Best color of the evening... Way past the best time but I like the color... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Some faint and broad cloud shadows this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 There is a storm a-brewing. As I was driving home from work the Sun/clouds were throwing out sun-dogs. So I headed out to the pond just in case. When I got there, there was only this little tiny sun-dog on the left side of the Sun... As the sunset cruised along, I was surprised at just how interesting the sky got... It did not last long and all the color left really quick. So here is the last dregs...

bowtie` Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 After a full day of the perfect amount and type of clouds overhead that would make a great sunset, well everything evaporated as the evening progressed. But I still went out to the pond to record the color on the horizon, just for posterity sake. Looking north north east... Looking north west...

bowtie` Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 And now for something completely different. A sunrise! I have to guess and hope that a sunrise might be decent but I got lucky this morning. With everything backward, start off with the red flash... A little more magnification as it heads towards orange... The actual sunrise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 The Gilbert Sebenste Sunset. Compared to the rest of the week, it was amazing. But it was more-or-less a rather blasé affair. First contact with the 24-70 @70mm. and a single image... Second contact with the 16-35 @21mm and a six image average... Post sunset with the 16-35 @24mm and a single image...

bowtie` Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 My sunrise service this morning... I like the contrail remnants in the upper right. That bright white really provides a nice counter balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Got a couple of days behind here. These are from the sunset on the 13th. Horizontal, for the traditionalists... And vertical for the cellphone kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 This is the sunrise from today, the 21st.. It is rather strange watching a sunset in reverse. The red flash... The actual sunrise...

bowtie` Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Both images of the post sunset this evening were taken with the 100mm. Not a lot of color but I was glad to be out there to document it. The orange flash... The red flash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This is a good thread. Clouds are so different now. I remember large cumulonimbus in the 1990s here in Maryland. Even on Sunny Sunday's it was a sky full of fluffy cumulus 80% of the time. Now it's these wispy clouds, saturated raindroplets. Someone said the earth has more water/ice now, but I think there is less rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I like the graceful arc of this cloud around sunset this evening. Taken with the 16-35mm @ 31mm. Post sunset color taken with the 100mm again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Around sunset this evening... This poor image has so many troubles. Fish popping the surface in the lower left. Geese and ducks swimming off the edge of the lower right. And purple martins in addition to starlings flying all over making a hash of things. But the color was so good, I tried to make it look as good as I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Start of the post sunset color with the 100mm this evening... The red flash with the 24-70mm. This poor lens goes overboard with red... With the 24-70mm again. A little extra red works when there is just a little of that color in the sky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Clouds are cool. Billions of suspended water crystals. I wonder if fluffy clouds happen for everyone, looking through my parents old pictures there is none of it.

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 It seems like the clouds where you are, are 20 years in the future or something. I've always had this feeling about Detroit area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had this feeling about Detroit area. Actually your sunset was at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. While my sunset was at 8:42 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. So there is almost three quarters of an hour of time difference between you and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Departing systems, when they time out right, give the best sunsets. Tonight's yellow flash... Orange flash... And to end the night, the red flash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 The edge of that system got hung up overhead all day. So I got another colorful sunset this evening. Right at local sunset... About as red as it was going to get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
