The Royal Meteorological Society’s 2022 Aerial Photographer of the Year 2022 shortlist has been announced, including Brocken Ghost. About reported on the community website.
Photographers from all over the world shared their best weather shots and the stories behind them. The jury of the competition consists of experts in the fields of photography and meteorology. Voting is open and anyone can vote for their favorite photo. The winners will be announced on October 6, 2022.
One of the images shows the Brocken Ghost at Tavert Cliff (Barcelona) in June 2021. The Brocken ghost is a gigantic shadow of an observer (in this case, a photographer) falling on a cloud or fog. It occurs when a person stands on a hill and the Sun is behind him. The “ghost” can be surrounded by rainbow rings and even move due to the movement of the cloud. Such shadows can of course be created by objects: tall buildings and airplanes. This impressive optical phenomenon was captured by Emily Vilamala Benito, a self-taught photographer.
