The daytime sky - a photographic snapshot  |
THE REDDEST SKY Probably among one of the best five photographs I have ever taken, this shot of a red evening sky over Drogheda takes little introduction. There was no magic involved, though - nature presented this scene to me, and I just grabbed my camera and took four pictures. This was the best of the four. No image editing was carried out - this is a simple scan from a 7x5" colour print. Sometimes, it's about being in the right place at the right time, with a camera! |

| Another evening sky, with the small cumulus clouds in the foreground against the dark cumulonimbus behind. | The same sky as on left, but with a wider lens and taken a few minutes later. The sun was setting. |

| A July sunset sky over Ireland. | High and low altitude cloud combine in this image. |

| Sunbeams reach out from behind a cumulonimbus. | Richard liked the colours in this one! |

| A great contrast of colours - the dark clouds and the bright greenery, taken at Redmountain, 1999. | The bright reds of summer yield to softer tones in the winter. This sunset sky was taken in November. |
