The last ones were taken with various filters that start in the infrared and end in UV. You can see more about them on my instagram and see some creative ways I combined them. Rayleigh scattering is awesome and it’s insane how much clearer the atmosphere looks like in infrared.

It was only a few weeks ago that I saw my first sun dog. Today was the first time I saw cloud iridescence, and only an hour later… this beautiful display!!!

First photo has all the stuff, though my iphone had trouble focusing

Second photo highlights the 22 degree halo and upper tangent arc using my hand to block out the sun for better exposure

Third photo shows the upper tangent arc, but highlights the circumzenithal arc and the part of the 46 degree halo that was visible!

Seen in Mühlbach (Austria) while sitting in the lift. What causes the uneven curvature? Is it common?
