graceful rays Photo

Photographer’s Note

PP work includes sizing and slight exposure adjustment. No tweaking of colors.

The intense red and orange hues of the sky at sunrise and sunset are mainly caused by scattering of sunlight by dust particles, soot particles, other solid aerosols, and liquid aerosols in the earth's atmosphere. When there are no particulates in the troposphere, such as after a big rain storm, then the remaining less intense reds are explained by Rayleigh Scattering of sunlight by air molecules. Sunset colors are typically more brilliant and more intense than sunrise colors, since there are generally more particles and aerosols in the evening air than in the morning air. Nighttime air is usually cooler and less windy, which allows dust and soot particles to settle out of the atmosphere. Sunrise color intensities can however exceed sunset's intensities when there are nighttime fires, volcanic eruptions or emissions, or dust storms to the east of the viewer. A number of eruptions in recent times, such as those of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and Krakatoa in 1883, have been sufficiently large to produce remarkable sunsets and sunrises all over the world.

A nice result

Hi Danilo, another strong sunset post this month with a very informative note. I like those rays casted through the clouds and the details on the horizon. The composition is very beautiful placing the mountain peak just on the center and the Sun high just off center with a well managed exposure. Thanks for sharing...Alex

Hello Danilo,

A breathtakingly beautiful sunset!
What is amazing to me is that so many tones of the same colour can produce such beauty!
Your skill at composition, and the inclusion of tiny silhouetted ships, adds greatly to the experience.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)
