Took these in July and just found them in my folder. Images taken from a cliff top from Portstewart of a beautiful sunset. The camera shows the disk as white however with the naked eye it was crimson red. Looked for a green flash but no joy. The guy in the image walked past the camera very slowly then came back and put his jacket on. I thought he was doing it for the badness because he knew what I was trying to do. In the end he helped me out by providing a contrasty subject for a sense of depth and scale.  Smiley

Great shots, Martin.  Smiley I like very much the #4 shot with the Sun divided into two narrow bands.
