 | There is a special moment that occasionally happens at sunset when there are scattered clouds in the sky and a clear break in the clouds on the horizon. Just after the sun drops below the horizon the sun will sometimes shine up on the under side of the clouds. The rays of the sun skimming through hundreds of miles of of the earth's atmosphere at an oblique angle, coloring the light with brilliant reds, oranges and pinks. It often lasts for less than a minute, so you had better be ready with your camera if you want to get a photo. In this case I had another camera on a tripod taking time-lapse photos for a video of clouds and the sunset. I took this photo with my iPhone, bracing the camera against a tree to steady it.

         A few birds from the backyard bird feeder recently. Click an image to view larger in a slide show.
Last evening I tried out the new digital remote trigger (intervalometer) that I have for my camera. I had it set to take one exposure every 15 seconds for about an hour and a half as the clouds came rolling in ahead of a storm. I stopped taking pictures when it started raining. Then I opened the 300+ still images in Adobe Premiere Elements and made them in to a time-lapse movie. (This is part-1. I'm working on a longer version over several days.)
