Seen whilst driving along the A9 out of Perth; we parked up and piled out of the car rather quickly to catch the sun streaming out from behind a cloud illuminating the tree before the light moved. Taken on a Hasselblad 500CM with Fuji Neopan b&w 120 roll-film.

Mt. Edgecumbe, a small volcano off the coast of Sitka Alaska is rarely visible and certainly in my 20 years of traveling up there I have never once seen the sun set over Edgecumbe like this. Truly inspiring light!

This is the Lighthouse overlooking Lake Hefner, in OKC, Oklahoma! Crepuscular rays, in atmospheric optics, also known as sun rays, God’s rays, or the Fingers of God, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds or between other objects, are diverging columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. The name comes from their frequent occurrences during crepuscular hours (those being dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious. Various airborne compounds scatter the sunlight and make these rays visible, due to diffraction, reflection, and scattering. Crepuscular rays are near-parallel, but appear to diverge because of linear perspective. They often occur when objects such as mountain peaks or clouds partially shadow the sun’s rays like a cloud cover. There are three primary forms of crepuscular rays: Rays of light penetrating holes in low clouds (also called “Jacob’s Ladder”). Beams of light diverging from behind a cloud. Pale, pinkish or reddish rays that radiate from below the horizon. These are often mistaken for light pillars.

Sunset from the western slopes of Haleakala Maui Hawai`i “Well, I found you in the twilight garden, / Laid a lover’s hand upon your shoulder, / And we both were made aware of loving / Past the reach of reason to unravel, / Or the much desiring heart to follow. There we heard the breath among the grasses / And the gurgle of softly running water, / Well contented with the spacious starlight, / The cool wind’s touch and the deep blue distance, / Till the dawn came in with golden sandals.” Poetry by Sappho Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 01 June 2008 20:13:57 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 8.0 / ISO Speed 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 60.0 mm Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved

Hiro ~ Pa mai pa mai ka makani nui o Hilo Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Sunset Ho’okipa Maui North Shore Hawai’i “THE INDIAN GYPSY by: Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) / “In tattered robes that hoard a glittering trace / Of bygone colours, broidered to the knee, / Behold her, / daughter of a wandering race, / Tameless, / with the bold falcon’s agile grace, / And the lithe tiger’s sinuous majesty. With frugal skill her simple wants she tends, / She folds her tawny heifers and her sheep / On lonely meadows when the daylight ends, / Ere the quick night upon her flock descends / Like a black panther from the caves of sleep. Time’s river winds in foaming centuries / Its changing, swift, irrevocable course To far off and incalculable seas; She is twin-born with primal mysteries, And drinks of life at Time’s forgotten source.” Poetry by Sarojini Naidu 1879 – 1949 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Anthony Mancuso directed me to one of his photos last night A word from above that jogged my memory that I had taken a similar sunset two months earlier from Mt Martha. When I was taking this I expected to see a spaceship come down lol, hence the title.

Heading home after an early morning shoot I noticed the early sun trying it’s best to break through the clouds. / The suns crepuscular rays shining and illuminating patches of the sea was irrisistable! / Unfortunately the direction of the light lacked a real focal point so I used the trees to frame the shot. Canon 400D with 18-55mm lens / Aperture f/11 / Shutter 1/320 / ISO 400 / -1stop exposure to bring out the crepuscular rays.

An amazing display of crepuscular rays from the rising sun as seen from my guesthouse room in Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yunnan, China. / Nikon D300 with 18-200 lens.

Crepuscular rays can appear when the clouds (or terrain) that are responsible for the rays are below the horizon. The so-called crepuscular rays are solar rays cast on the purple red, while the sun is below the observer’s horizon, and sometimes span the entire twilight sky towards the Earth’s shadow band (the twilight wedge). If the purple red is obvious, look for these uncommon rays fanning out of the horizon. A amazing and rare sight, With the rays of light beaming up from the horizon and right up into the sky as you can see in this shot. EOS 500D.

A bit of a late night experiment, let me know what you think. This was taken on A recent visit to Burns Beach, which is A beach located in the far Northern part of the Perth metropolitan area. It was a stormy and windy winters afternoon, but the sun did manage to get though the clouds for a few minutes, giving me enough time to capture the rays of light breaking though the clouds. Canon EOS 500D.

CREPUSCULAR RAYS / Best viewed large. / / / “CREPUSCULAR RAYS” was FEATURED in MORNINGS AND EVENINGS—SUNBEAMS AND STORMS / / / / / These striking “CREPUSCULAR RAYS” light up the evening sky, and appear as brilliant golden sunbeams which appear to be dancing across the setting sun. This beautiful photo was captured in northeastern Kentucky, USA. / / “CREPUSCULAR RAYS” are rays converging on the Sun, opposite of anticrepuscular rays that converge on the anti-solar point. “CREPUSCULAR RAYS,” in atmospheric optics are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky, whereas anticrepuscular rays are seen opposite the sun in the sky. “CREPUSCULAR” comes from the Latin word “crepusculum,” which literally means “twilight.” / / “CREPUSCULAR RAYS” are most frequently visible near sunrise or sunset, and they are usually much brighter than anticrepuscular rays because they are seen on the same side of the sky as the sun. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. / / “CREPUSCULAR RAYS” can appear when the clouds (or terrain) that are responsible for the rays are below the horizon. The name comes from their frequent occurrences “DURING CREPUSCULAR HOURS” (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious. / / “CREPUSCULAR RAYS” are solar rays cast on the purple red, while the sun is below the observer’s horizon, and sometimes span the entire twilight sky towards the Earth’s shadow band (the twilight wedge).
