What am I looking at?! A few layers of altostratus?

Here’s one (rather pedestrian, I know):

Would this be Stratocumulus Stratiformis (or just plain-ol’ Stratocumulus)?

 

And a few weeks ago I took a photo of this Altostratus Translucidus and the photo had a wide ring around the sun that wasn’t visible to us. This is just an effect of the camera, isn’t it?

Thank you Hans, Michael, and Hygge (great word/name),

I live in the Pacific Northwest US and after those few snapshots, we had a stretch of perfectly blue skies for days (unusual AND boring).

Now we’re back to lots of stratus, altostratus, some nimbostratus = the usual for this time of year.

I’ll be sending more photos soon.

Appreciate the help!

Is anyone willing to look at a few photos and let me know if you agree with the identification? None are particularly special, yet I thought I’d check…
