bowtie` Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 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.

bowtie` Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 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, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 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)...

bowtie` Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 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 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 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...
