Description
Rayleigh, an abstract, my artworks all begin life as high resolution digital photographs. I love fine art photography and making pictures within the camera is always my goal. As such, the digital images aren't heavily manipulated, maybe a slight crop here, some color adjustment there. But the aim is to stay true to the original capture.
This was captured on Whitefish Point on Lake Superior.
The red color in the sky at sunset and sunrise is due to an effect called Rayleigh scattering.
During sunrise and sunset the distance that the light has to travel from the Sun to an observer is at its greatest. This means the a large amount of blue and violet light has been scattered so the light that is received by an observer is mostly of a longer wavelength and therefore appears to be red.
