Post-Storm sky / sunset - Aug. 18

[ACJunior]

The humidity was off the charts yesterday in Philly, surrounding areas, which lead to some very intense storms. After the storm passed the skies became absolutely surreal just before sunset. I've seen it before like this in past years from the ground though where trees block my view, this was the first time up in my XSP. I personally was in absolute awe. Low fog, deep yellow. red-orange mixed with darker clouds that appeared purple as it mixed with the setting sun after 7:50pm.

Do you know how low the ceiling was during this photo shoot? How awesome to be able to get up in the air to get these shots when you have the opportunity. I cannot fly from my home community.

Those real low, fog like clouds was only 150, 200ft. I'm not sure about those higher orange/purple clouds..maybe 1200-1500 ft, just a guess. I was hovering about 350ft for the most part, there were times I was losing video signal.
