At 18:37 pm on August 5th, I finally caught up with the green flash! And not only the green flash, but also the purple flash and the super-beautiful Omega Sun-Sun inferior mirage! What's more important is that this time it wasn't just the camera that caught it, I also solidly "saw" the green flash! Bright green, dazzling, charming, momentary.
The big picture in this combined photo is the green flash, taken with a Canon 6D. Because the exposure is less, the green is more saturated and beautiful. However, due to the low exposure, the purple flash cannot be captured. The 3 small images on the left in the combined photo were all taken from a video shot by the Canon 600D. From top to bottom are Sun inferior mirage (Ω Sun), green flash and purple flash. When the sun falls on the sea, it creates a mirage and finally forms green flashes and purple flashes.

Whether it's a green flash, a purple flash, or an inferior mirage under the sun, it's all virtual images caused by atmospheric refraction. There was just a little bit about a sunny sky low over the sea yesterday. At this point, the atmospheric density in the sky changes significantly. When I saw the beautiful appearance of the inferior mirage, I thought that the green flash should be hopeful. Really!! After chasing it more than ten times, I finally got a beautiful green flash, which is really very happy.
