On Wednesday morning I woke up early (for me anyway – 8am
to get some work done. I was sitting at the table on the boat doing my thing for about half an hour, and I look up for a minute and there’s a beautiful rainbow there. It doesn’t get much better than that
It was a bit of a dreary day, but the next day (and next, and the whole weekend) are sunny
It was only a couple of days ago that I was complaining about the rain
One thing with taking photos of rainbows is that they are so dependent on the viewing angle because they are caused by the refraction of light. So, moving around to get a better angle for the photo may result in changing what the rainbow looks like. This particular photo was taken directly out the window, and I have done any post-processing on it. I took some photos from the top deck, but I couldn’t get as bright of an image. I tried post processing the ones from the top deck too, but it seems *really* hard to bring out the rainbow. Dropping the brightness seems to be the best, but making the photo too dark just makes the whole image look bad. Making just the rainbow really dark makes it look too fake. I have to confess, I didn’t bother Googling for information on how to do this, but I found it interesting how difficult it was
