Sunset

We had a Sunset worth watching last night. The first part which caught my attention was this cloud formation:

I had a look through a Met Office pdf of examples which can be used to help identify different cloud formations but I still can't decide what type that was.

The gradual deepening of colours made a perfect end to a day which saw mid October temperatures reach 19.3C here.

I also set up the iPod Touch on the off chance of getting a decent time lapse:



That was 944 stills taken at 2 second intervals.

  1. The time lapse really worked perfectly.
    I think the clouds are alto cumulus. They are quite high if the wind was from the left of picture,
    This more than made up for no Friday at the Flicks. No Flicker either.

    1. Adrian. It all depends on me locking the exposure at the right time.

  2. That time lapse is great - I think I'll have a go at doing one of our spring skies soon!

    1. Thank you TWG. I keep practicing. The young Silver Birch tree is a lovely shape to use with sky shots.

    1. It was Wilma. By the time a Sunset looks good it is too late to start a video so I try to guess when it is worth setting the iPod up.
