Anticrepuscular Rays
5 min read
Similar to crepuscular rays, but different. Anticrepuscular rays are similar to crepuscular rays—shafts of light reflected by atmospheric dust separated by bands of shadow blocked by a cloud or other irregular object—but due to perspective appear to converge at the anti-solar point (point opposite the sun). These were caused by the sun setting behind a mid-sized storm cloud, and while not nearly as dramatic as they can be, it was, the first time I’ve ever managed to see let alone capture them.
