I thought this was a little unusual for a rainbow … lots of the reds and not so much (if any) blues and greens. This is looking directly east with the sun low in the western sky. There was a VERY faint double showing in the left of the sky, but it didn’t show up much in the image. This was taken with my iPhone with it set on wide angle … which created some distortion. I corrected some of that in Lightroom, but it stretched out the tree on the right margin some.
This is the lighthouse at Point Wilson on Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend. There was just a hint of a rainbow. Fortunately, it wasn’t raining on me.
I was lucky that the rainbow stuck around until I could get to the beach. The clouds were great and a ship was encircled by the ‘bow. I’m not sure what caused the sunshine patterning to the right side of the ‘bow, but I liked that it showed up in the final image. This was a series of images that I assembled in Lightroom.
This is another isolated stone circle that we found driving backcountry roads in southwest England (back in August 1999). I liked the double rainbow (the second is very faint) in the background. There were no other folks around and no real signage. Just a stone circle that had been there for hundreds and hundreds of years.
We were flying kites in an open field on Marrowstone Island, southeast of Port Townsend, WA. The water is Puget Sound, looking across to Whidbey Island. It started to sprinkle and the rainbow showed up. I grabbed my camera and moved around until I got the end of the rainbow on my friend, Gary. I would have liked to have had the tug boat to be a little further into the image, but the rainbow didn’t last long enough.
