I accidentally hit “submit” twice and cannot find a delete key, so I will take this opportunity to ask how you can delete a message?
Thanks!
RamonaOh, I LOVE this – and your title for the image, too! May I ask, how do you expose for your shots like this? I normally use manual settings and underexpose my shots some. You may have already shared this information somewhere, in which case a link would be great!
I am occupied with an ill family member now, but I hope to get back to the skies very soon!

Thanks, George!! I have learned so much already! So now I need to study more on corona vs iridescence! Thanks for sharing the link – I will go check it out.
Thank you for the warm welcome! And it is very much my pleasure to start this thread! My challenge will be to not ask TOO many questions – I just need to sit back and learn for a while. There is one question that I may post, but I will try to not go overboard.
Your description of your image is wonderful! I love the colors and interpretation!
Yes, if I remember correctly I had taken my filter off for this shot. It is so helpful to have descriptions broken down into different comments so I can look at each of them in the photo. Thank you so much!!
I have really learned a lot from the atoptics site, Hans!! Thank you so much for pointing it out to me! Of course, along with knowledge comes more and more questions, as I observe the skies and wonder if what I see falls into a particular category. I hope I don’t get kicked out for asking TOO many identification questions!
Thanks again!
RamonaThank you for the warm welcome, George! I am guessing you saw my Gunter Mountain Photography page? I just went out this evening and shot 1889 photos of the sunset but I have not looked through all of them yet! I did use one as the cover photo, though. ;-) I look forward to learning names for all of the clouds, etc that I have been photographing and observing over the last few years!

This is the black and white twin to the sun halo photo. I love all of these black and white images! The contrast of black and white really brings out the elements of the clouds.

RamonaI am not sure if I should post this here or start a new thread. I know better now what I see in this photo, after having read some information on this site. This is the solar eclipse of 2017, as seen at 97% in Alabama, USA. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I see some corona colors around the sun and iridescence in the clouds on the left. I don’t understand the object/phenomenon to the left of the sun – it looks like the “leftover 3%” of the sun – the part not covered by the moon. It moved around depending on what perspective I shot the photo from, so maybe it was a photographic flare of some sort?Thanks,
Ramona
Oh WOW!! That is gorgeous!!! Where did you take it at? Hans, yours is a great photo, too!! It seems that these colors are all around if we take the time to look for them!
Ramona
Oh, this is terribly exciting!!! I did not know there were so many resources where I could learn about clouds and their variability!! I am afraid I am wearing my meteorologist friend out with questions, although he is very patient. I wish I had time to read it all at one time, but I will take it in small bites for now. I am home bound right now, due to many medical issues, but I have an electric scooter and spend much time outside with my “head in the clouds”. It is to the point where I can be inside near a window and just “feel” that there are colors in the sky outside. I don’t know how else to describe it. I have many, many, many cloud images, but I will try to be slow in sharing them. Here is one that I took this past week. I also have some I took of the solar eclipse that have many fascinating aspects in them and I now have hope of understanding what they were.Thank you for the warm welcome!
