Iridescent Clouds, Diffraction and Prismatic Colours ~ Atmospheric Optics / Imaged near Tok Alaska in the beautiful Tanana River Valley Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art 06 June 2009 Abstract Digital Art and Writing / Featured Art 03 June 2009 Atmospheric Optics / “Iridescence in clouds most often occurs close to the sun. It is best seen when the sun is hidden. When parts of clouds are thin and have similar size droplets, diffraction can make them shine with colours like a corona. In fact, the colours are essentially corona fragments. The effect is called cloud iridescence or irisation, terms derived from Iris the Greek personification of the rainbow. The usually delicate colours can be in almost random patches or bands at cloud edges. They are only organised into coronal rings when the droplet size is uniform right across the cloud. The bands and colours change or come and go as the cloud evolves. They occur most often in altocumulus, cirrocumulus and especially in lenticular clouds. Iridescence is seen mostly when part of a cloud is forming because then all the droplets have a similar history and consequently have a similar size. Sometimes iridescence may be seen far from the sun but is most frequently near to it.” Information Source: Atmospheric Optics – Iridescent Clouds Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 13 September 2007 18:12:22 / Tv 1/500 Av 20.0 Exposure Compensation 0 / Curves White Balance Adjustment in Post Processing / ISO 125 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 135.0 mm

This image was taken in Lahaina on Maui 02 May 2008 72.0 dpi / Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6 / Metering Mode Evaluative Metering / White balance compensation B1 M1 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / ISO Speed 200 The Moluccan Cockatoo, Cacatua moluccensis, also known as Salmon-crested Cockatoo, is a cockatoo endemic to south Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. At 50 cm, it is the largest of the white cockatoos. The female is larger than the males on average. It has white-pink feathers with a definite peachy glow, a slight yellow on the underwing and underside of the tail feathers and a large retractable recumbent crest which it raises when threatened, revealing hitherto concealed bright red-orange plumes to frighten potential attackers (may also be raised in excitement, or other ‘emotional’ displays). It also has one of the louder calls in the parrot world and in captivity is a capable mimic. In the wild the Moluccan Cockatoo inhabits lowland forests below 1000m. The diet consists mainly of seeds, nuts and fruit, as well as coconuts The Moluccan Cockatoo can no longer be imported into the United States because it is listed on the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they are being bred in captivity. Potential owners should be fully aware of the husbandry requirements of the species. The Moluccan Cockatoo is widely considered to be the most demanding parrot to keep as a pet. A typical Moluccan Cockatoo needs around eight hours of daily attention from its caregiver to keep it happy. As with most large cockatoos, the Moluccan Cockatoo develops health and behavioral problems such as feather-plucking and aggression if not provided with the appropriate environment, attention, and enrichment opportunities. / Information Source: Wikipedia
