Setting sun taken from Bald Butte point at Cypress Hills Provincial Park, Saskatchewan, August 9, 2007, with AP 90mm Stowaway refractor and Borg .85x flattener, at ISO 100 and 1/640s exposure.
Lightning bolts and a rainbow at sunset in a thunderstorm retreating over the Alberta prairie, July 18, 2016. There is a faint outer bow visible at left. This is a stack of 35 consecutive video frames taken with HD (1920 x 1080) resolution at 30 frames per second with the Canon 6D, and extracted as an image sequence with Photoshop, then processed in Adobe Camera Raw, then stacked with Russell Brown’s Stack-A-Matic into a smart object with maximum stack mode, to accumulate the frames taken over about 1 second into one still frame. So I could have got this with a single 1-secind exposure with the lens stopped way down and a ND filter, but my timing would have had to have been very, very lucky!
The colors of the sunset sky, from home on August 6, 2014, in a 360° panorama at sunset. The setting Sun is at far right, the waxing gibbous Moon left of centre. This is a sitch of 7 segments each shot with the 14mm Rokinon lens in portrait mode, and with the Canon 6D. Exposure metered then kept consistent for each frame. Stitched in PTGui 10. Vibrancy and contrast increased for effect but it was a spectacular sky.
