Sunset and Moonrise

[Jameel Hyder]

The past couple of days here in PNW saw a lot of smoke from the wildfires in eastern Washington. The air quality was bad where it peaked at about 180 or so on Thursday. Last night I captured the sun about 45 mins before sunset - no ND needed. I then looked for the moon around 10pm and had to get that as well. Presented here as a collage. Taken with the Canon R5 and 800/11 lens handheld for the sun and tripod for the moon.

Nice set, too bad you have to breath that air.

I wish I wasn't so familiar with that smoke filter appearance although it can lead to some interesting images. You had worse air than we did down here in Vancouver yesterday - we only went up to about 150 or so.

thanks Ben. I had to be out shooting for just a few minutes.

thanks Alan. Yesterday it wasn’t as bad as Thursday. Likely closer to 120ish

Very cool images for such bad conditions Jameel. That moon sure got turned yellow too! Nice detail in both, and they work really well together.

Jameel,

Sorry I missed this. These make the most of a bad situation to produce some very interesting images form our smoke filled skies. I like them both for the color, and the moon detail is nice. Of course, at visible wavelengths, there IS no Sun detail to be seen, other than perhaps a sunspot of 2, but those are still not very prevalent yet as we are still at the beginning of solar cycle 25...
