No, I’m not talking about the children’s TV program from the 70′s here , although I do remember watching it!
No this is a rainbow I managed, just, to capture on my phone a week or so back
I was a much brighter and complete double bow, just moments before I took this shot. However I hesitated to try and get the photo because I wasn’t sure I could get the whole thing in the frame, but then I decided I could use Autostitch, the panorama making app I have my iPhone to get the complete rainbow. However I the few moments I spent thinking about this, the next shower was moving in behind me and the sunlight faded, so this was all I could get of it. Maybe 20 seconds before this was taken the primary bow was bright and complete and the secondary bow was about 60% and as bright as any secondary I’ve seen before.
This was a good lesson to me, that when it comes to photo’s, take the shot as soon as you see it, don’t wait for a better one, there maybe nothing better coming, and if there is you can take as many shots as you like and pick the best ones.
And in fact generally in life, you should grab and hold on to what you have here and now, don’t wait for something better coming down the line. It might never arrive!
