Hey Ken,
I've seen some color in the sky......but never like this and I'm not quite sure why????.....almost like a rainbow gone haywire! It makes an interesting comp as yo upresented it.....with the clouds and colors forming a nice comp. I might consider cleaning up the lower edge on the right a bit.....but very unusual and nicely done!
Hi Ken, A different sky then most of us get a chance to see. I also like the flow of the image with the various colors adding greatly to it . The pano crop helps to zero in on the colors and adds strength to the image. Agree with Roman regarding the cleanup on the lower rt.
Unfortunately I have no explanation for this I have never seen such a thing before, I can only assume it was a type of rainbow effect as the sun set through the approaching storm clouds.
Thanks to everybody for your kind comments and suggestions.
Wow, I've never seen one like this before !
Amazing !
Initially I thought that this might be due to the circular polarizer but then when you mentioned that this is how you saw it, all I can say is that this is an amazing phenomena.
Thank you for sharing.
I've seen this effect often, particularly in Colorado in the winter. It is apparently a diffraction and refraction effect in the ice crystals in the cirrus clouds. I've most often seen it in the late afternoon near (above) the sun, about 10-20 degrees from the sun. But I've rarely seen it this extensive (perhaps only once). I usually photograph it with a 500 mm lens, although going after smaller pieces.
Congratulations. It is indeed unusual, especially so large and intense.
Strange Sky
