This is a crude animation of a sunset taken at Fort Stevens State Park. It is a series of photos taken without the idea of making them into an animation. After I got a green flash picture, I decided to try to make an animation. I removed the sideways slide of the Sun as it sets, so it appears that it was taken near the equator. The time intervals between pictures is also inconsistant, thus the crude adjective. The animation covers 6 minutes and 14 seconds. The eighth frame of the animation contains a red flash as pointed out to me by Les Cowley of Atmospheric Optics. If you are interested in the wonderful variety of optical effects the planet can offer, visit his site at: www.sundog.clara.co.uk/atoptics/phenom.htm
The animation only works at original size.
