Cloud shadows and puffy ones

I should really start to carrying my DSLR when ever I am outside. As I was walking my dog the other day, clouds played shadow game in the sky and I cursed a bit in my mind that I didn't take the DSLR after all.

Okay, it really doesn't show that much when you compare to wider shot from the same camera. 

Puffy clouds that look like bits of cotton wool floating in lots of blue sky are a sign of fair weather.  Also they are called Altocumulus clouds.

This time of the year clouds are making wonderful paintings in the sky, just when it is settling in or just about rise for the new day.

Few pictures with iPhone 13 from the Köyliö.

Sun was just about to settle in when I was walking my dog and there were a bit mist in the air too.  

This was taken very late in the evening, but as the iPhone 13 has great camera and snow in the ground reflects the light, it luminated these threes so surreal for the night time.

Same three trees in the morning, just before sun rises above the horizon, but different angle too.

This is the same birch alley that I posted in my Roadscape.photography blog.

Driving in Twilight

Today was my "first" drive from my new house to work. As I left from home the sun was about to rise above horizon. The stage of sunrise known as false sunrise actually occurs before the Sun truly reaches the horizon because Earth's atmosphere refracts the Sun's image. At the horizon, the average amount of refraction is 34 arcminutes, though this amount varies based on atmospheric conditions.

Also, unlike most other solar measurements, sunrise occurs when the Sun's upper limb, rather than its center, appears to cross the horizon. The apparent radius of the Sun at the horizon is 16 arcminutes.

These two angles combine to define sunrise to occur when the Sun's center is 50 arcminutes below the horizon, or 90.83° from the zenith.

Dawn of the sunrise

Well, I was walking to the work this morning and the sun was about to rise. This gave a gorgeous clouds in the sky. I mean almost like a breathtaking gorgeous. This was about 30 minutes before the actual sunrise moment, the moment at which the upper limb of the Sun appears tangent to the horizon.

The street near me didn't have a good spot to take a photo, but I knew that when I got to the overpass, there would be kind of a good spot to take a photo. So, I just took these as a progress. Also There was a moon in the sky in the opposite direction I took a photo of that too, since that chimney was so purple.

I know that is kind of potato, but these were taken with Apple iPhone 13 mini, which is much better than my previous iPhone 7.

Few 5x zoom with the iPhone. And a few minutes later I was on the overpass and I captured these:

I actually had to walk back a bit to take this panorama as I had walked pass the Highway 9 that this over pass goes over.

End of the world

As I shot this it didn't seem to be such a eerie as it is in this photo.
