After many years of trying I finally captured the rare Green Flash at the Oregon Coast on camera.
I have seen the Green Flash many times (about 8-10), but whenever I am ready and have my camera setup...nothing.
....until today.
R5 w/100-500 handheld
f/7.1 1/1250 ~ ISO 400 ~ 500mm
Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?
Hey everyone. Recently some Pep Ventosa work came across my social media and it inspired me to get out and try his in the round technique again. I've tried it before without a ton of success.
I posted recently about how using the Bluristic app angle mode could simulate the action used in the Pep Ventosa 'in the round' technique.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

Cool! I have seen 5 in my life. Not easy, I am really surprised that you caught it.
Cool, didn't know it was a thing.
What are the conditions for this to happen?
From a NASA website:
"...a green flash is now understood to occur when the Earth's atmosphere acts like both a prism and a lens. Different atmospheric layers create altitude-variable refraction that takes light from the top of the Sun and disperses its colors, creates two images, and magnifies it in just the right way to make a thin sliver appear green just before it disappears."
Wikipedia also has a entry:

Its great to isee actual proof of it. when I tell people about it they think im crazy. apparently you can watch it for hours in the right conditions
Only at the poles. At the equator the Sun sets faster and it's gone in the blink of an eye.
