The One That Got Away

End Of Winter

Waiting For The Green Flash

All shots X-T1 and 23mm Lens

 

[Rob MacKillop]

80 degrees???!!!! 9 degrees here just now...

What is the green flash?

The second image has not appeared - just a flickr sign saying it is unavailable.

Good shots, Chris, with careful dof

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Nice set Chris. No second image here either. That I do envy 80f , is that normal?

 

[Aldous Lau]

Lovely set Chris

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Very good pictures again. A very good temperature too albeit the second one is missing here as well. Enjoy!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks chaps - just refreshed the URL for the 2nd image - hopefully that'll fix it for you?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It does. Beautiful. Love the bobbing heads out in the water. I'm sure you could make a bucketload of money out of your photos, Chris. The tourist board would love them.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Rob, forgot to answer the green flash question.

Sometimes as the sun sinks into the ocean, you get a lighting effect that looks like a green flash of light

I thought this was BS, as I'd looked and looked and never seen it

Then last year one time, watching sunset with swmbo, we saw it!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Nice set Chris. No second image here either. That I do envy 80f , is that normal?

About 20F above normal Julian - very unusual

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Was it's name Gordon?

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I've got the second one now and it is a great one, lovely colours, beautifully composed.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Yes Chris I had hoped that was the image missing as on Flicky. Love those shots, something about the sea the sun, people, families, surfboards sometimes the smell of a BQ. Love that light, superb.

 

[Julian Davies]

colours are beautiful, nice set Chris.

 

[Pat Reehal]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Waiting for the Green Flash on Saint Patrick's day! I love it.

(PS. Thanks to you, and the sale of a kidney, I am off to Chester tomorrow where there is an XT-1 in a cupboard with my name on the box.)

Only 1 sleep to go!

Super set again Chris. I especially like the last one - very atmospheric.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Pete - the last shot was a grab as we walked past this couple, right at the point where the sun was vanishing
