Photo Spotlight  Image posted 5.03.2008

The upper limb of the rising sun peeks over the distant horizon at Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Not only did club president Steve Mattan capture this scenic view, but also the elusive Green Flash (see magnified inset). This picture was taken April 1, 2008, using a Canon 20D digital SLR with a Canon 100 to 400 mm f/4.5-5.6L zoom lens at 220 mm focal length. Exposed 1/100 second at f/8, ISO 200.
