There are some things in life that just make your smile. Rainbows are one of them for me, and a double rainbow just makes me cry out “wow!” and run for the camera.
It only lasted about 10 minutes, but that gave me enough time to get an all right shot of them. The odd thing is that after that day I started seeing the double rainbow from all different angles courtesy of our social media feeds. I think the best one I saw was over the lagoon.
But, that’s the thing with rainbows. You have to be in the right place at the right time. It’s like blackjack, you can make minor changes to where you’re standing, but if you make too many it’s gone and you’ve lost out.
The only technical advice I can give when trying to capture a rainbow photo is make sure you have your camera on manual and underexpose it (make it darker) to make the rainbow pop more.
Other than that, remember to put down the camera after you get a good photo and just enjoy it!
