A few weeks ago I got a nice pic of a rainbow. My biggest disappointment was that I didn't have my wide angle lens with me. The rainbow was so big that I couldn't get it fully in the frame from my vantage point. I knew I'd have to have just the right conditions to try and capture it again--late afternoon, showers coming in, and I'd have to be up on the hill with my camera ready--not an easy thing to plan since I don't generally have time to camp out and wait for rain.
So when showers started rolling in again, I made sure my camera was ready and that I had my wide angle lens on it. Fortunately, I was at home when it started raining and could see the possibility for a good rainbow. So I grabbed my camera and drove to this spot near my home. I was rewarded with this insanely beautiful rainbow. And this time I was ready!
Draw whatever conclusions you'd like, but there's a lot to the saying that "Success happens when preparation meets opportunity." I thought it would be a long time before I'd have the opporunity for a shot like this again, but fortunately, I was ready for it to happen sooner than expected!
Are you ready?
Wow. Beautiful. You could have taken 2 shots and merged them in Photoshop with the earlier photo but catching this in one frame is sweeeeet! glad you did it! the colors in the sky on this one are just gorgeous.
