A 240° panorama of a dark band of crepuscular rays sweeping across the sky from northwest (at left) at the sunset point to southeast (at right) at the anti-Sun point. The band is a shadow cast by the clouds to the northwest, and in this case appeared all across the sky, diverging away from the sunset point and converging toward the anti-solar point where the nearly Full Moon is about to rise. The shadows arc nearly overhead at the centre of the image. The perspective gives the effect of the shadows looking like a bow in the sky. This is a 6-panel panorama with the Rokinon 12mm lens, handheld, and Nikon D750. Stitched with PTGui.
The cloudy sky on solstice night at home on June 20, 2017. THis was after a fierce outflow wind from a distant thunderstorm. After a clear day, clouds moved in thwarting plans for a solstice twilight panorama. This does document the light pollution at my site — too much, from sodium vapour farm and gas plant lights, as well as towns. Shot with the Nikon D750 and 12mm Rokinon in landscape orientation, in six segments at 60° spacings.
Total Eclipse of the Moon , November 8, 2003, shot from home in Alberta. Initial partial phase with moon rising in eclipse.
