Description

On a moderate level clouds appeared with different colors. It's the so called iridiscence where light is refracted in a differential way, breaking apart in colors. When these clouds are too close to the sun they're too bright to be seen with the naked eye (but with sunglasses it's ok, but... never stare directly into the sun, even not with sunglasses!), but a little distant of the sun you can distinguish these colors. Reinhard (RNitze) can shoot these phenomenons far better than I can do that, but my fascination is not less than his fascination! :) Have a nice Sunday!

I like the pinks and the golds in the clouds locally that hints at ice crystals in early Spring and late Fall. One laughs at the idea of monochromatic light from a laser scattering to form a spectrum yet it came from a quantum phenomena.

Wow, I have been fascinated with clouds too but have never found a way to shoot them well. If you can 'show us the way,' that would be great!

i'm kinda confused about your explanation, Jan-Carel. i think maybe i'm still too sleepy. i don't understand about the irridescent colors. i don't see any irridescent colors. were you saying the irridenscent colors were breaking down here? sorry for my confusion. i didn't sleep much last night and coffee is just not waking me up. Anyway...about the image...it's quite dramatic and powerful...almost looks like an explosion in the sky. some of those little clouds look to be shaped liked airplanes or sharks. this particular image comes across as ominous. i think there's a bad storm brewing! very moody capture!!! nicely done!

Wow... very impressive clouds here. Clouds always look a bit dramatic. That is why I like them.. they seem to tell a story.. The clouds BTW are beautifully captured by you.

Aww poor Sheila can't see the colors.. I can see many colors here Jan-Carel and they are quite amazing!! I have never noticed colors like this in any clouds before but maybe I was too far from them and the conditions were not right. I see a lot of pink and I see blue and an orangish gold. Beautiful and very educational! I love coming here and learning new things!! Thank You!! :-)

Nice to be looking at and learning about clouds...subject matter for a future composition of mine...I like how these create a powerful frame effect, an idea I may use.
