I took this photo of some fantastic crepuscular rays back in August.  The sun had just set and the evening sky was filled with beautiful orange beams of light.  I was using my Nikon D300 at  ISO 250,  f/2.6  at 1/60 of a second.

Crepuscular rays are typically observed in the evening or dawn which is how they got their name.  The word crepuscular means “of or related to twilight”.

If you have a great crepuscular rays photo, send it in!  We’ll post it on this page.  Give us a brief description of where you were, what kind of camera you were using and anything else you think our readers would find interesting.
