“魔鬼之角”日出照走红网络，100%真实

I think it’s safe to say that Norah Jones wasn’t picturing something like this when she sang about the sunrise in our eyes.

我想可以肯定地说，诺拉·琼斯在演唱《我们眼中的日出》时，并没有描绘出这样的画面。

Photography enthusiast Chasiotis had spent the last days of 2019 in Qatar and they were definitely worth the trip. You see, during one of these days, a solar eclipse was underway as the Sun began rising above the horizon, making it look like a devil rising from the waters. And Chasiotis captured it all.

摄影爱好者查西奥蒂斯在卡塔尔度过了2019年的最后几天，这次旅行绝对值得。你看，在某一天，当太阳开始从地平线上升起时，日食正在进行，使它看起来像一个魔鬼从水里升起。而恰西奥的斯把这一切都记录了下来。

“Astronomy has attracted me since I was a kid,” Chasiotis told Bored Panda. “I’ve been an amateur astrophotographer for the last 15 years as well. I took these photos in the coastal city of Al Wakrah, Qatar, on the morning of December 26, 2019, when an annular eclipse was in progress.”

“自从我还是个孩子的时候，天文学就吸引了我，”查西奥蒂斯告诉Bored Panda。“在过去的15年里，我一直是一名业余天文摄影师。我于2019年12月26日上午在卡塔尔的海滨城市Al Wakrah拍摄了这些照片，当时日环食正在进行中。”

The images aren’t results of pure chance and luck. Chasiotis intentionally chose a place with the open horizon where he got a perfect view of the eclipsed sun emerging from the sea. “I hoped that optical effects like inferior mirage would be visible and I was lucky enough to capture them,” he said. “The weather conditions didn’t look good in the beginning as there was a lot of haze and low clouds in the southeast.”

这些图像不是纯粹的偶然和运气的结果。查西奥蒂斯有意选择了一个视野开阔的地方，在那里他可以完美地看到从海上升起的日食。他说:“我希望能看到像‘下蜃景’这样的光学效果，我很幸运地捕捉到了它们。”“刚开始的时候天气看起来不太好，因为东南部有很多雾霾和低云。”

“I was worried that nothing would come out of the eclipse. However, when the sun finally began to rise, it looked like two separate pieces, some sort of red horns piercing the sea. It soon took the form of a crescent, with the so-called ‘Etruscan vase’ inferior mirage effect visible. Due to its shape, the phenomenon was nicknamed the ‘evil sunrise.'”

“我担心这次日食什么结果都没有。然而，当太阳终于开始升起的时候，它看起来就像两个分开的部分，某种红色的角刺入大海。它很快就变成了新月形，可见所谓的“伊特鲁里亚花瓶”的海市蜃楼效果。由于其形状，这种现象被称为“邪恶的日出”。

But for Chasiotis it didn’t look wicked at all. “It was indeed the most stunning sunrise I have ever seen! The only problem was that I missed the annular phase of the eclipse (“the ring of fire”) due to the clouds. When the sun reappeared, it was a crescent again. Despite being clouded for the main part of the eclipse, I felt very rewarded. Now, I am looking forward to the next annular eclipse in June 2020 and the next total solar eclipse in December 2020. Total solar eclipses are the most awesome sights in nature.”

但对查西奥蒂斯来说，这看起来一点也不邪恶。“这真是我见过的最美丽的日出!”唯一的问题是，由于云层的原因，我错过了日环食的阶段(“火圈”)。当太阳再次出现时，又是一轮新日。尽管在日食的大部分时间里我都被乌云笼罩着，但我还是觉得很有成就感。现在，我期待着2020年6月下一次日环食，2020年12月下一次日全食。日全食是自然界最壮观的景象。”

The photographer used the Sony A7 II mirrorless camera and the Sigma 150-600mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens to capture the breathtaking sight. “I opted for a high ISO, low shutter speed and continuous shooting, as I intended to catch the airplanes and seagulls in the frame as well.”

摄影师使用了索尼A7 II无反光镜相机和Sigma 150-600mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM镜头来捕捉这一惊人的景象。“我选择了高ISO，低快门速度和连续拍摄，因为我想在画面中捕捉飞机和海鸥。”
