9/22/2024 First Sunrise of Fall

Stout’s Point on Petit Jean Mountain is a favorite of many people. I don’t think I’ve ever been there alone. As I neared the mountain, I saw fog and got hopeful. I was more interested in shooting the fog than the sunrise. After you watch the video, scroll down.

Now look at these two pictures. Notice the “false” Sun. It was very circular but I knew it wasn’t the actual Sun. There are several phenomena that can cause this, I don’t know which it was.

Finally, my new friend Adam Sullivan took this picture of me taking pictures of the sunrise. I wish he had a better model for his composition.

9/17/2024 Partial Lunar Eclipse

The first image was taken a minute or two before the start of the umbral phase of the eclipse. A section of the Moon is in shadow but not completely dark. The second image is at the peak of this eclipse and a portion of the Moon is in complete darkness, covered by the umbral shadow.
