Congrats! I'm still trying but will have two months on Florida gulf beach s this winter.
A couple questions if I may. Was the sun below the horizon during this shot, how long was it there, and what was the weather like? Thanks!

Ok I'll bite. What is that?
It usually lasts only a second or two — which is why it is referred a flash — as the sun changes from red or orange at sunset, for example. The green flash is viewable because refraction bends the light of the sun. ... This "green flash," caused by light refracting in the atmosphere, is rarely seen.
In California when there is Santa Ana conditions (warm winds blowing offshore) at the right amount of particulant matter (smog or smoke from fires) in the air on the horizon.
I've seen many, and captured only a couple.

And you thought it wasn't real? Really good shot. You give me hope that I may catch one some day.

I knew it was real, but you wouldn't believe how many people don't. It's so cool to witness, even better to capture.

Chris, I have to admit that I had classified the Green Flash with Leprechauns and Big Foot. Thank-you for your post that not only proves me wrong, but is a beautiful photo as well.

Excellent capture! I've seen the green flash many times, even while photographing a sunset, but have never captured it with the camera.
