19: double rainbow & other sky phenomenon

Double Rainbow
can you spot the second one ? (click for biggification)
and on careful observation, you can see that the colors are in reverse color.

Crepuscular Rays 
like a sudden burst of light.
 

 

Fog Bows
rainbow embedded clouds.

I’m really eyeing for Sun Halos or Moon Halos, which are quite hard to capture especially its very tropic here in the Philippines. But i have already witnessed a Moon Halo, so i know that its possible here. Only thing is i dont have a camera then when the moon halo occured. drats!

17: cotton candy anyone?

Yey! I have assembled a new PC using my old hard drives and was finally able to retrieve some old photos.

One of ’em is the cotton candy cloud.

It’s my second time seeing these cloud formations but only had one chance to shoot a high quality picture. We’ll the other one is in a video.

and more close-up.

yes.. because its hard waking up early in the morning.

but then i really had nothing to take focus on.

my first post was about a lunar eclipse

A partial lunar eclipse was visible at the Philippine skies last August 17, 2008 (The second lunar eclipse for this year). The full lunar eclipse was visible in Africa, etc. (read more about it here).

Ok, it was cloudy that night so I was not able to take a lot of pics depicting the phases. Here is the best that I could come up.

 Ok. My fascination with ‘Shooting’ the moon just grew bigger.
