bowtie` Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 First time out at the pond for this year. Some nice color post sunset. As usual, thanks for all the views in the 2018 thread. I will be deleting those to make room of this years images as they come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefishingrocks Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 A little trip down memory lane. Picture from January 2016 in parkville, mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Departing system attempt this evening. The winds were still cranking at the time and it made it difficult to stand/kneel to take the shots. Also a windchill of 20 made me leave early to get back inside the warm car.

bowtie` Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 It has been awhile. The time change helps. Not being sick anymore helps even more. The upper sixties helped the most. When I got to the pond. I liked the depth, the contrail remnants provided. That and there is a very, very slight partial halo and sundogs. Although those might be lost in the reduction for the site... About as good as the color was going to get to the west once the Sun disappeared behind the clouds... Looking to the east. I kind of went overboard with the blue in this one, But the cloud colors are real close It is what it is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Departing system here again this evening. While not perfect, it was good enough for a small vivid red flash. Here is an overview at 35mm... And a more detailed look at 100mm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 I had hoped that when and if the Sun snuck underneath the cloud layer close to sunset that I might get some good color. Was not to be the case. At 29mm. Best color was way off to the west. Best I could do at 100mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Nice evolution this evening. Yellow pre-sunset... Close to local sunset... Wide angle post sunset... A little more focal length, if you call 35mm more, during the post sunset... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Approaching system this evening. Probably was about two hours too early. But still had some stuff to shoot. A nice sundog on the south side of the Sun, when I got out to the pond... Wide angle as the Sun sank into the deeper clouds close to the horizon... Max dynamics as far as the color went... Here the color was fading so the blue started taking over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Kind of a minimal aspect to the clouds this evening. But I did max out the lens usage. With the 100mm... With the 16-35mm at 30mm... With the 24-70mm at 70mm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 It was just a tad chilly down at the pond this evening. Truth be told it was cold as sheetrock. Still was out there to see if the sunset did anything. What it looked like when I got out there... Some fringe color as it got late.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 A nice evolution of the sunset tonight. Was not quite as cold either. Was able to gut it out to the very end. What I started with when I got out there. A little sundog on the north side of the Sun... As the Sun crept into the horizon... Going vertical to show just how prominent the contrails were... The red flash was well worth the wait. Glad I was on my toes. It came and went rather rapidly... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 An approaching system sunset this evening. Not too shabby. Glad I was out there to see it. An overview of the sunset at 32mm... A more detailed look at 60mm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 My love affair with post sunset colorful clouds was renewed this evening. Whoever said that central Indiana is not pretty must have some pretty dark goggles on. Local sunset... The beginning of the orange. Need to pan a bit more south to get all the color... Still needed to stretch even more to the south to get every last drop... Max color dynamics and definitely in the oooh-aaah phase.... Last vestiges and time to roll over... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Tonight was a lot more subtle. Just a gentle flirting. The Yellow... The Orange... And the Red... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Another extremely minimal sunset as far as clouds go, But the color was there, so I made the effort. There is only four minutes between these two images. Shows you just how quick the light fades as the Sun rounds away beneath the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 A quick evolution of the sunset for tonight. These are the clouds I was hoping would be around for the sunset but they rolled through about one hour too soon... Shows just how fast the dry air was winning... About as good as the color was going to get.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Only cloud was to the east this evening. When I got out to the pond... About the max of the color, and that is not saying much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 The upper low finally moved on and we had a sunset here for the first time in a number of days. About an hour before sunset, the clearing was finally moving through... Moved over to the right side of the pond and was shooting south as the edge moved overhead... There were just a few cloud stragglers at local sunset... And ending the evening with the post color looking to the east and the edge of the clouds...

bowtie` Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 The clouds that were hanging around most of the afternoon, took a hike towards sunset. What it looked like when I got out to the pond... Local sunset and the only clouds left were on the horizon so I had to go with the 100mm... Best of the post sunset color...

bowtie` Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Tonight was a race with a boundary heading just south of me. Ended up being a decent color night. Pre sunset with a nice bronze color... Post sunset with the beginning of the red flash... After a frantic lens change to the 16-35mm, the last of the red...

bowtie` Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Finally! After a long week of only grey skies and rain, we managed to dry out just in time for the sunset this evening. Local sunset... The orange... And ending on a high note, the red... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Was out at the pond, just in case, this evening. Pre-sunset and you can see the algae bloom in the pond which was rather severe... Post-sunset had the proper placement and type of clouds but the color never took off. The storms in Nebraska and Kansas blotted out the best light. Still the best that I got...

bowtie` Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Was an evening for the 100mm tonight. Some neat pill box clouds pre-sunset... Local sunset... The red flash was a rather sparse display... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Tried something different this morning, a sunrise. I was up and I thought there was a chance at a colorful one. A close-up with the 100mm... An overview with the 16-35mm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Tonight was another race with the intruding dry air and the receding system. A sunset overview at 16mm... The sunset at 35mm... Post-sunset color at 100mm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Well I lost the race this time. The upper level low finally got out of the area but about an hour too soon to get any sunset color. But I did get out to the pond in time to catch a cloud or two before they evaporated in the dry air. Looking east when I got out to the pond... And some cloud shadows looking west...

bowtie` Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Went through the whole color wheel on the sunset again this evening. The first two images were with the 16-35mm. The second two with the 24-70mm. The white, when I got out to the pond... The yellow and the beginning of the post sunset... The orange... And the red...

bowtie` Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Last image for this page, I think. I was late getting out to the pond but it was a still evening and made for a nice reflection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
