halos

#1 Postby pawlee » Mon Jan 19, 2004 5:19 pm

happy to report that my new camera does a wonderful job of catching bright optical effects! due to the extreme cold we are experiencing today, the AM sun kicked out a beautiful halo over Decatur IL as light was being refracted through a thin layer of ice crystals in the atmosphere. thought for sure my fingers were going to fall off till i was done shooting... enjoy! p

Wow ... extreme cold creating the SUN DOGS (mock suns) on either side of the sun at its horizontal point ...

If anyone's interested in frequent and infrequent halos .... visit this site below...
