Double and supernumerary rainbow
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 7:43 am
Hello,
I thought you might like to see this double rainbow shot yesterday evening, from Aberdeen, UK.
There was also a "supernumerary rainbow" showing underneath the main one, which I've never seen so clearly before.
I've applied some processing to exaggerate the colours. Saying that, this process is not a great exaggeration to how it appeared by eye - very spectacular.
It's a slow-starting spring for us in Scotland, so the trees are still leafless. The sequoias and rhododendrons keep their leaves all year round of course. I think this scene marks the start of good weather.
It was a very nice scene to end my 21st year of life!
Details: Sony A-300 DSLR with kit lens at 18mm, f/8. ISO200
Cheers

This one's got a lot of extra contrast/saturation to show the supernumerary.
