    The green flash

    This doesn't come over very well in JPG but at sunset today I got the green flash as the sun disappeared.
    Picture (reduced for web)

    At 100% Crop


    Even so I still missed capturing the vertical green flash which I saw through the lens. Maybe tomorrow.

    Good stuff!

    Where is it? Looks a bit like Nightcliff in Darwin, where I used to do my evening jogs when the tide was out... Saw a couple of those over the years, but never managed a photo Well done!

    Nice work, can you try to bring it on ACR? I just wonder if in the jpg image it is lost.
    Very nice images in any case

    No I can't as that was ACR and from there to JPEG. I think it's more the downsize of resolution that's killed it.

    Yes it is in Broome.

    This sounds like a variant of the corona effect that aeroplanes get. It's light bending around a surface. I've seen it a number of times on jets. The shadow of the plane lands on the cloud with a rainbow like appearance. I can't easily find any reference to this though.
