Trouble with rainbows

 

The trouble with rainbows is, frankly, all that rain.

Within minutes of my camera begging me to take it out to see the rainbow, we both were soaked. I could not wipe its lens quickly enough to keep drops off. Further, I could not protect the lens with a cover as it would have eclipsed portions of this wide angle view. Ah well, the picture is what it is.

As the shower moved up the Lake, raindrops on the lens no longer sullied the skyscape and my camera felt better about its decision to chase rainbows.

    The second photo is Fantastic!
    10mm fisheye stitched how many times?

    • Alistair says:

      Travis, six overlapping fisheye pictures taken in a vertical format were used. They were converted to an equirectangular projection and then stitched to make the final seamless image.

    Both photos are quite beautiful. Your camera makes good photographic choices!

    • Alistair says:

      Robin, my camera frequently makes rather good choices. However, I am not willing to let such good deeds go to its head. So, I will upbraid it for its occasional poor aesthetic choices. (It is important to know who to blame.)
