Photographer’s Note

A double rainbow on Snafu lake.
A nice place for camping or pic nic and a good lake for fishing.

Hi Claude. Dramatic rainbow shot.Stunning reflections and what I also like is the play of light on the distant hills. The brightly coloured bushes in the front are a nice addition as they help liven up what would otherwise be a darker image. Regards. Klaudio.

Beautiful shot. The colors of this rainbow really stand out, and I like the little bit of reflection on the water. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Claude,

What I find spectacular in your photo is the reflection of the rainbow. I don't think I've ever seen this before!

The brilliance of the inner rainbow is also striking. Did you use a polarizing filter?

You have placed the elements of this photo nicely within the frame, so that there is a pleasant sense of stability and balance.

Regards,
- William

Bonjour Claude,

Je ne l ecris pas souvent, mais pour celle ci: 'wow'.
Exactement le type de scene et de paysages que j aime beaucoup voir et photographier. Ca me fait penser aux photos d Olivier Grunewald que j apprecie beaucoup.
Une belle capture,

Yves.

Bonjour, Claude. Le double arc-en-ciel se détache très bien sur le ciel gris tourmenté. Le reflet d'une partie de l'arc sur l'eau sombre est un atour supplémentaire. Les différences d'intensité lumineuse à l'intérieur de l'arc se remarquent aussi à la surface de l'eau.
Bonne journée,
Philippe

Bonsoir Claude
Un tres bel arc en ciel qui flashe sur le ciel sombre, ses couleurs sont tres bien saturees, de mon point de vue le second n'etait pas necessaire, mais bon puisque c'etait l'heure du "2 pour 1" comme on dit au Quebec ;-)
Bonne soiree JY

Spellbinding! I've never seen a rainbow this bright. Wonderful composition with foliage balancing the bows on the right. I love the delicate, slanting sunlight and the rain in the background. It must have been a stunning day. Congratulations! Judy

Ciao Claude,
non è facile vedere due arcobaleno insieme.
Qui tu li hai persino riflessi nell'acqua.

Complimenti!
Francesco

Hi Claudio,
Just great looking double rainbow. Dark clouds in the background make contrast excellent. And wilderness landscape with the lake is fascinating too.

The polarizer really brought out the colours of the rainbow. Nicely composed.

Salut claudio
Je n'ai jamais vu d'arc en ciel avec des couleurs aussi intenses ! Magnifique

pablominto (41340) 2009-09-30 22:18

Hello Claude,

Strong vivid colours in the rainbow, and I notice the fine reflection from the calm lake!
You even were so lucky to catch a double rainbow, and I quote:

"Occasionally, a second, dimmer, and thicker secondary rainbow is seen outside the primary bow. Secondary rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and appear at an angle of 50°–53°. As a result of the second reflection, the colours of a secondary rainbow are inverted compared to the primary bow, with blue on the outside and red on the inside. The dark area of unlit sky lying between the primary and secondary bows is called Alexander's band, after Alexander of Aphrodisias who first described it."

Amazing light in the frame, you surely were in the right place at the right time!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Bonjour Claude
Deux phénomènes intéressants
L'assombrissement du ciel sur la bande d'Alexandre entre les deux arcs et la concentration de luminosité au centre à l'intérieur de l'arc.
Lumières bien gérées
Cordialement
