Challenge – “Sunsets”
24 June 2022 @ 19:00
June’s Online Challenge brief is as follows:
Theme – Sunsets
Entries for this theme will depict images that fall under the following description.
Sunset, also known as sundown, is the daily disappearance of the Sun over the horizon due to Earth’s rotation. As viewed from everywhere on Earth (except the North and South poles), the equinox Sun sets due west at the moment of both the Spring and Autumn equinox. As viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, the sun sets to the northwest (or not at all) in the Northern hemisphere’s spring and summer, and to the southwest in the autumn and winter; these seasons are reversed for the Southern Hemisphere.
The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the upper limb of the Sun disappears below the horizon. Near the horizon, atmospheric refraction causes sunlight rays to be distorted to such an extent that geometrically the solar disk is already about one diameter below the horizon when a sunset is observed. We will be accepting images that have 1/1 of the Sun, 3/4 of the Sun, 1/2 of the Sun, 1/4 of the Sun and also 0/0 (totally beyond the horizon. So plenty of leeway to capture some great images.
