    Hi WLR

    After seeing all of these wonderful rainbow photos, I'm now properly motivated although I don't have a polarising filter for my lens.

    Still I will have a go if we ever get any rain here.

    Thanks for the tips :-)

     

    Hi Woodpecker,I am afraid i just point and click ha ha.

  • Sheena, that is so good to know as I can now have a go.:-))

    This is a lovely thread, it may sound daft but I always feel uplifted and happier whenever I see a rainbow. Why have I never thought about taking a photograph of one?

    All your photographs are absolutely stunning, yet again an impressive display.

    Woodpecker, the forecast was for fine weather today, I woke up and it was STILL raining!

    Kind regards Jane.

  • How did I miss this thread yesterday!!!

    Stunning pictures one and all

    ......... I once took a picture of a double rainbow across Rannock Moor that spread across a clear blue sky, following huge storms, where the moon could be seen too

    It was so magical and I snapped away completely lost in the moment.......

    Back home I discovered I had forgotten to load a film (aaaarggghhh) and so I offer my virtual, ethereal rainbows and moon for you to imagine until I can get back (with a digital camera) and hopefully capture it in a photo.

  • Best and most amasing one I ever saw was  not so much a rainbow but a Raincircle we flew threw it in the chopper comming back onshore from the rig in the Northsea. One of the most wonderful things I have ever seen in my life and dont think I will ever forget it!

    Cheers

    hi Chris

    The Rainbow pictures on his thread are fabulous

    They give us hope and we may have the same chance to catch a Rainbow on camera.

    Colin's (WLR) advice for so may things is very useful and I for one find everything very informative

    Love to see any of your pictures if your have any 'views' of interest {thumbs up}

    Regards

    Kathy and Dave

  • Some lovely photo's of rainbows on here.  Here is one taken a few years ago on the south coast, can't remember exactly where somewhere around Bournemouth I think.

    Very hard to get a picture of a rainbow as we don't get much rain do we !!  ha ha

    What a wonderful world :))

  • Lovely shot! Nice to see a rainbow over the sea!
