Details:
We are all aware of the green flash during sunset, but what about a red flash? Not quite sure if it is a thing yet, but it occurred in the same way as the more commonly known green flash. The green flash will always occur above the top of the sun when conditions are right and appear green due it separation from the green rim that surrounds the top half of the solar disc. The lower half of the sun contains the red rim and its always red, as the sun was setting a red flash appeared directionally below it for no more than 2 seconds. I guess this is either a red flash or a momentary red fragmented mirage. At the time this occurred the Sun was approx 0.3 degrees above the horizon.
I have been capturing sunsets for many years and love seeing the effects the different weather takes on the setting sun, I have captured many green flashes and even the occasional blue flash but never this one.
