Sunset Personality 5: Edge Zoom

2019-06-29 By Roger Edwards

[Part 5 of 5] Even when a sunset is winding down, seemingly well past peak color, with only ghostly remnants of past brilliance fading away over most of the sky, don’t pack up and leave quite yet! Look around, and far away: amazing sights still may be there. In this instance, the remaining colorful scenery revealed itself by a deep zoom into the same cloud-shield edge that was a distant yellow band before, well after the nearer mammatus deck fell under shadow. The cloud edge was well over 100 miles away over the Red River region of southwestern Oklahoma, but its warm colors still pleased the eye. This series has illustrated the marvelous diversity of views…of the sky, during yet another fine central Oklahoma sunset! [Back to Part 1]

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
