Did you know that you can observe fascinating #mirages in the Black Forest? In my latest blog post, I explore this phenomenon of #AtmosphericOptics and share my personal observations from the coast of the English Channel and the mountains of the Black Forest.

2 years ago today, 16th Feb '23 I photographed #LightPillars from #Oxfordshire UK. We don't see them very often here so this was a rare treat! They form when ice crystals sink lower in the atmosphere & reflect exposed lights into these light pillars #AtmosphericOptics

#Coronas are commonly seen around the Sun & Moon but they can also form around bright planets & stars. On 30th Jan '25 I photographed this beautiful #Venus #corona. They form when light from the Sun or Moon is diffracted by water droplets in cloud. Canon 1100D 10-18mm & 300mm lenses, Oxfordshire, UK #AtmosphericOptics #OpticalEffects #Diffraction

Nebensonne und Teil des Horizontalkreises, gestern für wenige Minuten sichtbar.
“Sun dog” (parhelion) and part of the parhelic circle could be seen yesterday for just a few minutes.

30th Aug '23 was an amazing night for lunar #AtmosphericOptics around the #PerigeeFullMoon! Lunar #22DegreeHalo #CircumzenithalArc + the best #paraselenae (#moondogs) I've seen, both showing #ParaselenicCircle fragments! Canon 1100D + 10-18mm lens. Click image to view full size

Amazing lunar #AtmosphericOptics caught on our #GMN #MeteorCameras + all sky camera last night!! Extremely bright #Paraselenae (#moondogs) + #ParaselenicCircle fragments, #UpperTangentArc #22DegreeHalo & #CircumzenithalArc #LunarAtmosphericOptics #Moon #GibbousMoon

Some more #AtmosphericOptics from #Oxfordshire on 17th July 2023. We had a nice #22DegreeHalo and really bright #parhelia (#sundogs) which had a bit of a #ParhelicCircle tail. I always love getting aircraft flying near sundogs! #OpticalEffects #IceCrystals #Haloes

On 17th July '23 I saw the best #CircumzenithalArc I've ever seen! There was also a faint hint of a #SupralateralArc which showed up on colour subtracted images. The 1st image has the top of a #22DegreeHalo. Taken from #NorthOxfordshire #AtmosphericOptics #OpticalEffects

Small fragment of a #CircumhorizonArc from #Oxfordshire, UK on Friday 23rd June '23. The Sun has to be higher than 58 degrees for these to form so we don't get many opportunities from the UK. I sat outside for the entire 90mins the Sun was high enough hoping to catch this. The heat was brutal, but I'm so happy even to have caught a fragment! It's only the 2nd time I've photographed one from the UK. #AtmosphericOptics #OpticalEffects

I saw two solar halo phenomena in high clouds but I only managed to cap one. I think it's a 46° halo, but they're rare so maybe it's a colourless infralateral arc?
I've already capped double sundogs and a weak 22° halo this year so I'm on a roll.#AtmosphericOptics #OpticalPhenomenon #OpticalPhenomena #halo #IceHalo #SolarHalo #46DegreeHalo #Cirrus #Cloud #Clouds ? #InfralateralArc ?
