Roisin and I watched this beautiful sunset last week from the north coast at Portballintrae. First a pillar, then the disk was visible with the naked eye, while through the view finder was the large sunspot group then I saw my first ever green flash and caught it on camera, that's a new one ticked off my list  Smiley

Great set Martin & Roisin, another optical phenomena captured well done, so I understand you have to be really quick to capture the green flash.

Thanks

Some beautiful shots there (I've always been a sucker for colourful sunsets) and for ticking the Green Flash off of your 'must get' items.
