 Sunrise in Barkley Sound
- This photo was taken between 4:30
and 5:00,am, around mid August, 1980, I was a Deckhand on a Government,
Research ship (CSS VECTOR) we were drifting just outside the Broken Group at
the time, I was making my morning rounds before, I had to wake the ships
crew at 7:00,am, I couldn't help but notice that we were going to have an
unbelievable sunrise, I quickly went to my cabin and grabbed my camera and
set it (a Canon, AE-1) to, manual, wide open aperture, and the shutter to
60x, I was using Kodak, 400,film at the time, you can see the Ocean waves in
the fore ground and the Broken Group in the background and some Green Flash
detail.[Ed.] We received this feedback on the above photo from Andrew
T. Young, a member of the Adjunct Faculty, Dept of Astronomy, San Diego
State University: "This picture certainly is a showy sunrise, but there's
nothing resembling a green flash there. There are some bits of blue sky that
contrast nicely with the fiery red clouds, so a casual observer might
suppose they are green, because of simultaneous contrast. But, really, no
green flash." You may wish to
browse his website, which is devoted to green flashes and other related
phenomena. |
