Shot Notes

I took this out my apartment window in Cambodia in 2004.  Every so often I would see this effect could in the sunset – a sort of “rainbow” known as a circumhorizontal arc  This is the best one I ever captured.  The effect supposedly occurs when light passes through high-altitude cirrus clouds containing plate-shaped hexagonal ice crystals facing parallel to the earth’s surface.
