Took a 5 mile round trip hike to get this.Not a cloud in the sky so thought i would try and take a picture of the sun setting into the sea,got a few and the last of the three photos i think i've captured a little green flash.I'm not very clued up about solar matters so could someone in the know confirm or not whether it is,thanks :shocked:

Pictures taken with my canon 350d.55-200mm lens at 200.zoomed and cropped .

Oooo! Splendid work!

Wish I lived near the sea. Don't think I could get the same effect as the Sun sinks below the roof tops. :cat:

Green Flash? Isn't he a comic book superhero?

Cheers

I thought Green Flash was the new eco friendly washing powder. :shocked:

Congrats. That is a great catch. :cat:

It is one of my aims to see this for real

Cheers

Can it be seen visually because i never noticed it,that said i wasn't really sure what i was expecting to see,i knew that you sometimes got the effect when the sun is almost completely set and conditions are right,i kinda had this idea in my head that a thin green streak of light would be visible along the sea just as the sun dissappears :withstupid:

I am pretty sure that it is generally regarded as a open water phenomena and does appear in old sea-dog tales (no pun intended), but I suppose if the land is pretty flat .....

Don't be alarmed Carol, I should think most of us will never see it, not from a city site for sure :shocked: Perhaps we ought to resurrect KK's plan for a pirate's voyage to a remote island where it'll be warm and dark !!

I have been lucky to have seen the Green Flash many times over the years from several locations mainly with a sea horizon. I have observed it only once over land which was witnessed by others at the time.

I have only recorded it once on video and that was slightly obscured by a gantry. :cat: I have managed to upload an edit of it onto the UK Astronomers site but I am struggling to get the link to work. :shocked:

I will try again in the minute.

It appears in the latest uploaded videos.!

Ahh It seems to work........

The link worked fine for me.. nice little green 'wink' at the end. :shocked:

Good, I am pleased that it now works. I was on a cruise ship in Lisbon, Portugal, and the ship was just leaving the port so I did not have any choice for my viewpoint but we did manage to get it.

I am off around the Med. in June so I am hopeing to spot some more flashes on route.
