The Double Rainbow

May 25, 2009

I LOVE stormy weather. Seriously, I can’t say it enough to actually give an impression of how true that is. If it could be thundering and lightning all the time, I would be IN! Yesterday’s storms passed by us with only a few drops at my house. The Radar showed red and purple areas, which had me giddy with excitement, and then they literally passed within 2-3 miles of my house without giving me any of the benefit! I was not happy about that at all…

Then I walked out back to watch them roll away, and I saw the most beautiful rainbow behind my house. It wasn’t until my wife pointed out the double rainbow that I saw it. From what I understand, those are pretty rare, and really need the right conditions to form, so I am pretty happy to have seen it and been able to take a photo of it. This is PP’ed a bit, with a little added vignetting, which I personally like. I am a big fan of contrast, contrast, contrast. I live by: “When you have just enough contrast in your shot, add more!” Here is the pic…

I also have a shot from my G1 as part of my Picture-A-Day-With-A-Cell-Phone @www.bittenlips.com
There is also a short cell video on my YouTube at www.youtube.com/user/visualoddity
