We had a spring like day on Sunday, about 65 degrees F, but there was an approaching cold front that brought us snow the next day. I happened to gaze into the sky and noticed a pinkish/orange hue around the sun. At least that is what my naked eye could see without burning my retina. :) It was probably ice crystals in the high clouds that were moving in.
I thought I would experiment so I grabbed my camera and I slapped an ND8 filter on and snapped a few shots. I don't use filters too much and I don't think I have ever used this one with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. At any rate this is the final image after some Lightroom processing to remove some haze and glare. Probably not reality but better than my eye could see. :) I thought the jet passing through the frame was an added bonus.
There is something about the colour spectrum in this photo that makes it quite ominous. The change between deep purple/blue to white really shows.
Even with the naked eye, even though it didn't look quite like this, you could tell it was kind of special.
