Shot today. D750, AF-S 50/1.8G@f16.

The last one is magnificent. You were lucky with the sun's position there ... interesting to note how cleanly this lens copes with a strong light source.
-
Bjørn, thanks!
I don't remember if the lens have ever suffered from any flare/ghost problem. In fact, I regard this lens very highly. My first sample seemed to be a bit decentered, but this one is really good.
-
Color and shape so unusual!
Thank you for sharing, Akira.
-
Stunning clouds Akira. This lens is excellent in your good hands.
-
Air mail you said...

I really like the last one !
-
Last one works really well! Impressive resistance to flare, is it a crop?
-
Aguinaldo, Thanks!
Daniel, the lens helps me a lot!
Jakov, yes, the second delivery. :)
Arend, thanks!

Erik, thanks. Yes, the last one was cropped and rotated. The first one is uncropped.
I used the highlight priority metering mode which also helped, I think.

"The nine-fingered hand of God", well, maybe not quite. Good and interesting work, esp. #2.
-
Dave, thanks! To me, it looks like the fan of the Japanese long-nosed goblin (Tengu). :)
-
Amazing cloud colors, but I also like the sunstar and the generally great behavior of the lens. My copy has never been challenged like this and I'll have to give it a try.
-
Bill, thanks!
Yes, this humble lens keeps me marveled. :)
-
Another image of iridescent clouds shot two and a half months later.
50/1.8G is surprisingly free of ghosts and flares.
-
Akira, they're all good but I especially like the many-fingered one. The sun is in just the right place.

Shot today. D750, AF-S 50/1.8G@f16.
The building/structure in the foreground has made the image more interesting, Akira. Alas, I've never seen such cloud.
-
Thanks, Bill, for stopping by. The unique shape of the clouds is an added bonus!
Thanks, Anirban! At first, I thought the building disturbing, but, since you cannot move it away, I tried to make the best use of it. :D
-
Is the color in the clouds from ice crystals? Fourteen spokes seven long, seven shorter: must be a seven blade aperture.
I like the second one best.

Dave, thanks for commenting.
Judging from the fact that the first batch was shot in November 1st, it would be safe to assume that they were made of ice crystals.
And yes, all images were shot with AF-S 50/1.8G with seven aperture blades.
-
Great and fascinating!
-
Thanks, Peter!

I'm gonna leave you with the backlit clouds (in the near future and not of the second class, hopefully).
-
We get rainbow colored clouds and sundogs often in Vermont, but they're not easy to catch, and rarely as oddly patterned as that second shot. Well done.
-
Thanks, Matthew, for commenting.
At first, I was attracted to the clouds' shape only. But soon after that I realized the iridescence, and tried to find the best position to capture the color as quickly as possible before the clouds would deform. It was windy at that time.
