I guess timing is everything...this lasted about 10 minutes.

Talk about perfect conditions, the rainbow is perfectly placed, good reflection, nice sunset. All game together nicely. I caught a great sunrise yesterday morning in the gorge with a rainbow. I guess its that time of year!

Stunning capture, Edward! I don't think I've ever seen so much of a perfect rainbow circle. The reflection appears darker than it should.

Wow this is great! And the water pretty calm, as you can see from the reflections. Beautiful shot. Just curious, were you on a boat when you took this?

Thanks everyone!

I edited this on my laptop, and the screen on my laptop isn't great, so sometimes the colors can be off. I can tweak it a little if it needs it once I get it on my desktop.

Jay, I was at that viewpoint that you hit on the way back into Portland on I-84.

Marc, I'll fine tune the water when I get it on my desktop. I think I agree with you.


The 14-24 Nikkor is an amazing lens. This was shot at 14mm on the D700.

Awesome!!! What a great moment.

My D700 arrived 2 days ago. You've made it much harder to resist the 14-24 Nikkor. :smile:
