Bit O' Rainbow

by D.A. Edwards

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted July 15, 201545 views2 comments

From a couple of years ago near the top of Leavitt Peak, looking towards the Sweetwaters, after a very uncomfortable 30 minutes hunkered down to try to not get hit by lightning. The prudent thing would have been to immediately descend the 400 meters we had just climbed up but then I wouldn't have gotten this shot. Besides, it was my birthday weekend ;-)

f/10, 1/250 sec, ISO-200, 171mm, polarizer backed off some, tripod.

The pale colors and width of the rainbow are a nice match to the low contrast background mountains.

This is a beauty, Dave.  I like the dark ridge as a foreground with the bow hitting the dip in the ridge, fine subtle colors in the bow and the look at the mountains in the distance.  Well seen.
