    Special treat! Iridescent clouds

    Here is something that is a bit on the rare side. Iridescent clouds. I have heard about them, seen them and now being in the right place at the right time with a camera in hand and knowing how I wanted to shoot them, I actualy photographed some of these beauties. I did not see the ISO of 400 until I dumped the card, so a hair noisy. Exif intact, but a B+W 67mm circular polarizer was used

    Since the photos are bigger then the 800 pix, I will link to them:

    Enjoy

    Yes, these are indeed real (googling "iridescent clouds" gets you some nice info - and photos, though I must say some do look over-processed )

    Thanks everyone for the comments
