William (Bill) Armstrong's photos with the keyword: rays

Working with a film camera and slide film for the first time in ages, I didn't know how the film would react to a scene like this. I had to lighten the dark areas a bit. Editing a jpeg file rather than a RAW file is an adventure. This image was taken after sunrise at Wascana Park in Regina.

The rays of the setting sun filtering through clouds at a cemetery behind a country church near Mankota, in southern Saskatchewan.

Another view looking west of the show delivered by clouds and the sun, about one and a half hours before sunset.

After a very warm day there was a thunderstorm warning. Some active skies developed just west of Regina about two hours before sunset.

While driving west on Highway 32 to Leader, Saskatchewan, I stopped to capture images of the setting sun on a hot August evening.

Among photographers I know this is an example of "God's rays." This kind of image is a staple of inspirational literature and funeral cards. It was fun capturing images like this, on a Sunday morning, no less.
