Awesome. I’ve never captured a green flash despite making hundreds of sunrise images.

Thank you very much. Keep trying. Over a tree-lined ridge probably won’t do it. A rock ridge might.

In the article that you linked to I noticed this: “the blue is preferentially scattered out of the line of sight, and the remaining light ends up appearing green.” That strikes me as a makeshift explanation, which is to say a non-explanation. Who or what is doing the preferring?
