Chasing the rainbow

[David Paterson]

We have had a couple of stormy days and rainbows appeared quite regularly. These were shot from our garden.

Beautiful closeups of the rainbow.  I tend to want to capture the rainbow in the widest possible view angle, but these gives me great inspiration to think differently.  Thanks for sharing!

[Kuri]

I agree with Akira, yes, these are excellent!

[David Paterson]

Thanks, Aira and Kuri, for the kind comments.

Today I came across an indoor rainbow - really a spectrum, of course - a flaw in a window-glass acting as a prism

#1 with he highlighted section of landscape on the left of frame is magic !

#1 with he highlighted section of landscape on the left of frame is magic !

+1. What an special capture

[David Paterson]

Thank you, Mongo and Paco - your comments are greatly appreciated.

One thing which interests me is the kind of lumpy, uneven shape of the rainbow in #2- it seemed to be getting interference from shafts of sunlight coming thro the clouds above.

I find that first one magical.
The light, the colors.

[Jakov Minić]

I agree with with Mongo is magical with the highlights of the landscape on the left.
And, I also agree with David, the linear rainbow of the second image is also magical.

[David Paterson]

Thank you, Chris and Jakov.

[Peter Connan]

All three are stunningly beautiful, but Nr1 does take the laurels.

I like them all and #1 is gorgeous

[BEZ]

I know I will never make it as a landscape photographer  .....I love #4

Cheers

[David Paterson]

Thank you, Peter, Armando and `bez - I hoped that #4 would hit the spot for someone..
