The volcano ash in the atmosphere....

No it's not (thank your chosen deity)...... Mt Pinutabo was one of the largest eruptions recorded in modern times and spewed 10 cubic Km of material into the atmosphere :eek: and created a crater 2.5km in diameter... It also caused a drop in temperatures of around 0.5 degrees C in the Northern hemisphere and the cloud it created in the upper atmosphere persisted for 3 years.. I'm a bit of a geology nerd..

and they persist in telling me how important it is that i recycle plastic bottles!

Great info btw.
 
I remember in the early eighties after Mt.St.Helens erupted we had some fantastic sunsets for weeks after the event. I wasn,t into photography at the time so I have no images to show.
Unfortunatly here in Leicester it is very overcast so not much chance of any good shots today.
 
Hopefully we'll get a cracking sunset and still be able to see Venus, Mercury and the thin sliver of the 1 day old moon low in the west... that'll be a great combination.
 
No flights in or out of the UK until 0700 hrs tomorrow - at the earliest.
 
It's clear skies for us today but being up in the west of Scotland I don't know if we'll notice it. Still, I'll have the camera at the ready.
 
A giant cloud of ash over London affecting flights?

Is it true the Police have started to question the cleaners of Arsenal's trophy cabinet :D
 
I'm supposed to be going to Vegas tomorrow:shake:
 
Well I plan on being sat on the beach here in Aberystwyth this evening, camera at the ready... It's looking bloody gorgeous here at the moment so I'm hoping for something a little bit nice. :)

great link, I stay near the forth road/rail bridge think I might need to take a stroll down this evening for a few pics :-)
 
I was on the night shift last night at NATS Prestwick and watched the shutdown of UK airspace as it happened. Very bizarre, especially watching the various Sectors shift traffic further and further south before closing. By about 4am I was the only person working any air traffic in the North of the UK and didn't have a single other aircraft within 250nm of the P3 I was speaking to.

I can see it being an easy week or so at work!

Will sunset still be at normal time or will these mess have an effect on the times? Might head out a little earlier than I normally do, still a bit annoyed my 100-300 lens is at my friends house :bang::bang: Twice today I could have used it now!!

Being on the West coast I regret my lack of photographic skill but I will have a go! The skies here have sufficient cloud to make any colour interesting...if we have that.

I hope this volcano doesn't keep blowing for the next two years....I have flights booked for Iceland in August :shake:

I'm not jealous . . . I'm not jealous . . . I'm not jealous :dummy:

Make sure you post your results. That's one of my favourite parts of Wales.
Although if I had the time to travel up your way tonight, sunset over Aberaeron harbour would be my location of choice.

I'm stuck with watching it over the trees in the back garden :shake:
Let's just hope we get something of photographing - the sky's beautifully clear right now.
 
I think I've got here with the first sunset thread :lol:

Link here. My first attempt at sunset shots so I'd like to see what I've done right and wrong.
 
Well, as promised, I ventured out to Almscliff Crag last night in the hope of witnessing some sort of amazing sunset phenomena and ... it was ... [wait for it] ...

Complete CR*P!
Possibly the least interesting sunset I've ever seen!

Oh well (thanks to the excellent White Hart pub in Pool) I enjoyed a couple of pints of Landlord and a good catch up with a brilliant friend on the way home. So, not a completely wasted evening.
