Index It As Hot!

Weather conditions on Friday afternoon, July 19, 2019 at this location (on the grounds of Echo Hill Presbyterian Church) north of Marion, Iowa were: 96 degrees F, 64% humidity, 82-degree dew points, resulting in about a 110-degree heat index. There wasn't a cloud in the entire sky. For all captures I used my Nikon D7200 DSLR and Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens with an X2 77mm ND filter. Each exposure: 1/160 second at f/3.5, ISO 200 and 11mm focal length. The image above looks north at 3:27 pm CDT.

3:32 pm. Image looks northeast.

3:33 pm. Image looks northwest.

3:34 pm. Looking north. I used a two-second delay and held my tripod-mounted camera high for this capture to enable it to shoot over the cornfield.

3:40 pm. My home weather station told the story upon my return home.
