Extreme
Refraction
of the Sun and Green
Flash
Flight from Tampa,
FL to Washington Dulles Airport at 35,000 feet resulted in an extreme
refraction event of the sun as it set behind the Blue Ridge Mountains of North
Carolina. Plane was flying through light chop with
the wing blocking the view at times. Auto-focus was having trouble
deciding on window, wing or sun, so had to manually focus the shots, which led
to less than perfect shots
