I'd never seen it before that day. It appeared at about 2pm and the time of year was just right that the sun was the right height at the right time. Luck was a factor :) > Just one question, though - did you feel that your photos captured the > full brilliance of the rainbow? Thats a good question. I don't know if its even possible ;) Technically speaking, its hard to maintain colour saturation at the extremes of film latitude. That rainbow was about +2 stops exposed, but may have been a little more when at full brightness. The photo does help to bring back the memory; it'll take a while to forget that icy wind. Maybe thats why I tend to like my own photos more than other people do ;) In general my rainbow shots seem to turn out reasonably well but thats because I get lucky with my location and can compose a bit of scenery with it. I don't see many rainbows though. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/ (out of date) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
