10.09.08 .... Third try rainbow

Late afternoon in Erie and a rainbow appears. So naturally I try to compose this familar scene with a rainbow again. I still am not happy with the shot. To see the others, click the rainbow tag.

10.07.22 .... Rainbow - replay

This should look familiar. I posted another similar photo on this blog on July 11th.

Today's is a bit better - but still doesn't live up to its potential. This rainbow was extremely bright and intense about 10 minutes earlier - when I was trying to make a good photo at another location - just couldn't get the right composition with a GREAT rainbow.

Lesson is to just keep trying. Go to the best location FIRST.

Nikon D300 with 50-135mm manual focus lens at f8, 1/320s. ISO 200. Tripod.

10.07.11 .... A Cat, a Rose, and a Rainbow

Took 3 outstanding and different photos today. The only one that was planned was the rose.

A neighbor's cat that frequently visits our backyard via a hole in the fence.


Taken with 105mm micro lens.


Chased this rainbow and took various compositions with a local church. Didn't get to the spot when the rainbow was brightest - about 2 minutes too late. Still looks interesting.
