9-3 also had an interesting sunset. I was behind the viewfinder pre-sunrise to post sunset. Long day!

9-12 was about the morning and afternoon cirrus.

 

Started off with a 22 degree halo around the morning Sun. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

In the afternoon there was a weak sauce 22 degree halo, 2 parhelia (sundogs), and a partial parhelic circle (the white line through the sundogs and the Sun). Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

10-4 was nothing special as far a color went for the sunset. But the type and visual aspect of the clouds made it cool to look at.

 

Started off with the altocumulus looking north when I got out to the firehouse first thing in the evening. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

Later, the altocumulus started evaporating off and leaving these nice ripples all the way to the horizon. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm...

I do not know what it is about October, but that month always seems to be excellent with clouds and color. Especially there seems to always be plenty of cirrus around. This month was no different.

 

Started off in the afternoon with a little bit of cirrus and a little bit of cumulus. The winds were whipping and shooting the flags straight out. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm...

8G3A5674.thumb.JPG.079533a793f0df707fb9dc2afd203ebe.JPG

 

 

The sunset was all about the cirrus.

Both pre-sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm...

And post-sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 45mm...

10-28 had a real nice sunrise.

10-28 the late morning gets its own post. For a long time, I have been keeping my eyes to the sky hoping to get to image something I normally only see from the winter mountain top imagers. Some of the extra arcs and halos around the Sun. I as partially successful this morning. I was able to see quite clearly although it is a bit vague on the image. I wwas able to image a circumzenithal arc. It is above the 22 degree halo and halfway from that to the top of the image. The colors show up quite well but the coverage of the arc is a little sparse. With that arc being 46 degree above the Sun most people never look that high in the sky and never see it to begin with. I am quite pleased that I was finally able to see this. Taken with the 16-35mm at 18mm...

I am going to over-share the sunset of 11-16. Sure glad I took some voluntary time-off from work that day as the sunset was real nice and that darn time change has made a mess of me seeing sunsets on workdays.

 

Started off with a vivid sundog (parhelia) on the south side of the sun again. Taken with the 24-70mm at 59mm...

8G3A3644.thumb.JPG.bf90b70fa14901f32284e970afc679ba.JPG

8G3A4450.thumb.JPG.5dc0486e1c6e2dfff956c4cee8d2847a.JPG

 

 

Looking ENE at the color coming into the area. And there is an airliner coming out of KIND heading north to parts unknown above the new light pole. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

11-24   After a week of being stuck under an inversion (thanks Lakes), the Sun came out to play this afternoon. Made for a nice time with weather visuals.

 

Starting off with some iridescence in the alto cumulus in the afternoon. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm...

8G3A5196.thumb.JPG.b687a0ec8a07bc2293599f851a3d2043.JPG

 

 

When I got out to the overpass for the sunset. THis is taken pre-sunset to show you all the various cloud levels, so you have some context for what came later. Taken with the 24-70mm at 39mm...

8G3A5289.thumb.JPG.432c296a741a1815ab7c2cf60210a68c.JPG

 

 

Looking NNW over the firehouse, as the color was storming through the area. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm...

8G3A5975.thumb.JPG.b0048257167ba0e2b7dd4a4a00b70e55.JPG

 

 

And the best image of the day. Looking SW at the best color. All the various levels of clouds, all in various stages of lighting, makes this almost look like it is a composite of two or more images, but I assure this is one pass, haul ass of an image. Just a fantastic ending to a fantastic day. Taken with the 24 - 70mm at 50mm...

8G3A5991.thumb.JPG.ab898046d5f22e148be5bec05ea04490.JPG

 

 

Three Cheers! Good night my darl'in, wherever you are...

Not enough orders and too many people in the building so they asked if anyone wanted to go home early. I obliged and was able to catch the sunset this evening.
