Not really an image for critique as such, but I thought this was the best place for it.

This was shot from my balcony late yesterday, ballanced off the railing.

nice crepuscular rays!
They are caused by shadows of clouds, beyond your horizon in this case.
If you looked in the opposite part of the sky you would see converging anticrepuscular rays!

I've got an animation of a rainbow and anticrepuscular rays posted on my page, or go directly to it at:

Its a really old animation done with crappy software about 8 years ago from scanned slides

wow, thanks Gordon,

I was wondering what caused that.

Maybe next time I will have a better lens to shoot it with :oops:

Nice capture Dave, and Gordon that animation might be old but it sure is impressive stuff! What camera and lens/es were you using to take those shots ?

Most of them are with my 16mm Fisheye on the FE2.
If I recall correctly one of the early rainbow images was with something longer, maybe 55 or 85mm, and then I just did a few wider crops on it before the fisheye images.
