22 Degree Halo: Day 120


Another one from the archives, taken in mid winter when moisture in the air froze into tiny ice crystals. This is a 22 degree halo formed by the sun's light refracted and reflected by atmospheric ice. The horizontal parhelic circle intersects the 22 degree halo to form two "sundogs" on either side of the sun.

Canon EOS 60D, Bower 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye CS, ISO-200 f/? @ 1/250 sec. (Aperture is manual on this lens so I often never remember the setting, hence f/? if you're paying attention).
