+kawikaturn Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Well, I tried to do something artistic here. I had a new camera and did not know how to do a fill flash like I know I should have done when taking a photo into the sun. Maybe it could be adjusted, but I did not go there. Hope you enjoy it!

Awesome pic. But it is missing that little flash of green. I've yet to see that. I guess I need to drink more beer before the sun sets.... Sheesh, here we go again with that green-flash myth. You can experience the green-flash deal with a blank piece of white paper that has a bright red-orange spot marked on it. Fixate on the orange spot for a while and then flip the paper over and stare at the blank side; omigosh, it's a green flash. Use different spot colors and experience other flash colors. Color persistence of your eyeball and green-flash green being the complementary color for a setting sun is what the myth is all about. Same thing happens with the red-orange of a setting sun but staring at the sun is a really dumb thing to do. My guess is that the beach-alcohol ban will cut down on sun staring and so put an end to a few of the green-flash claims. Now, about space-aliens, ghosts, angels, and witches .... Yeah, I know, myths and such are more fun for "chosen" peple. Edited December 5, 2007 by SD Rowdies Quote
nonaeroterraqueous Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) You may be right, but then, you may be wrong. I think that the fact that it can be directly observed in a photograph would contradict your explanation. Edited December 5, 2007 by nonaeroterraqueous Quote

(To Will) Happens on rare occasions, at the last glimpse of sunset, a green flash shoots up into the sky. Some go their whole lives and never see it. Some claim to have seen it. Some say … PINTEL: … it signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead! (Gibbs glares at Pintel for interrupting his story) PINTEL: Sorry. Quote

We used to catch mainly brookies and browns in NW Wisconsin. It was a blast. We also did catch and release and used barbless hooks. I used a 7.5' flyrod with 5 weight line. My favorite fly was a size 16 Adams. I also used to tie my own flies. I only tied simple flies like Caddis flies and Crickets. The long winters gave us plenty of time to tie up enough flies for the next season. We used to see loads of wildlife while outdoors. We commonly saw otters, martens and beavers. We even saw an occassional mink. Ironically the only animal I never saw in Wisconsin was a badger. Edited December 9, 2007 by TrailGators Quote

+Team Gecko Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 Wednesday, 12/26/2007 I finally got my complete act together this morning to capture a decent photo sequence of the double sunrise near Kumeyaay Solstice Sunrise. It took six pre-dawn trips up Cowles on successive mornings to finally get what I was after. There are many atmospheric, astronomical, and photographic variables involved. I've been on this quest annually since 1996 and needed position data from yesterday's shoot and some recorded data from 1997 and 2001 events to estimate today's viewing position this many days after true solstice (turned out to be about 48 yards south of the turnaround point, a delta of 20 yards from yesterday). You can see the results by opening the Visit the Gallery link. For those interested, the camera is an Olympus SP-550UZ (non-SLR digital). Images were shot in Aperture priority mode, SHQ 3072x2304, manual focus, ISO 50, f8, shutter speed 1/1250 for frames 1-3, 1/1600 for frames 4-6, 1/800 for Frame 7. The limit of this model is f8 or I would have gone higher on the f number. -GD Quote

+TrailGators Posted December 27, 2007 Author Posted December 27, 2007 I was playing with my new Canon SD750 today and discovered that it comes with a cool feature called "Color Swap." So I tried it out on my dog, Lacey. She didn't seem to mind... "What is Dad up to?" "It's not easy being green...." "Enough of this, it's time for a nap...." I'm sure that Photoshop can do this better. Even though Lacey is mostly white/cream colored there was enough of a difference so that the camera didn't replace parts of her fur with the new color. Anyhow, this camera should allow me to take some entertaining photos in 2008! Quote
