How rare phenomenon! When the Sun on 7th June 2014 rised above the Pacific ocean from Hot Water Beach, New Zealand, I was able tu capture so amazing moment – a blue flash. Occasionally is possible to capture the green one caused by the atmospheric bending or refraction of sunlight. But to see (and capture) the blue one is needed very clear atmosphere to avoid scattering and diminishing the refracted blue sunlight above horizon. For this moment I was kind of waiting all of my life… Used Canon 6D, Tamron 70-300 mm @ 300 mm, f6.7, ISO 320, 1×1/750 s.
