Iridescent Cloud

Iridescent Cloud (or irisation, fragmented Solar Corona).

Nikon F3, 300mm lens. ~2000sec/f22 in auto exp. mode, Fuji Velvia film. No filters. Scanned with Imacon Flextight, processed in Adobe PS. These colors are very close to what was seen visually with sunglasses and on the cameras ground glass with the prism removed for viewing safety, Waves of rippling color could be seen as the cloud moved in relation to the sun. Colors were much more ‘electric’ in intensity than can be replicated here or in print.
