Wow!
Both splendid shots!

Don't think it competes too well with the above, but its my only one. Any one know how or if I could enhance the sky a little?

Best rainbow I ever saw in my life. Huge and extremely bright with a full double arc reaching all the way down on both sides. Really wish I'd been somewhere other than a city street!

Sure you can...


This was done by doing a soft, gradient selection across the transition between foreground and sky (sky selected, foreground unselected). Then apply curves to reduce brightness and enhance contrast. I found after I did that there was a bit of visible moise, so I ran a quick NeatImage pass on just the selection.

The above posts are very good.

This pic is directly after a tornado went through the area, (less than a mile down the road).

What great rainbow shots. My best one was taken as we were landing in Belfast, and I thought it was appropriate, with all the beautiful green scenery. All it needed was a pot at the end of it, but it was a print photo.

Don't you get some great ones in Hawai'i?

Taken on same trip as my Kenya DSWF series. Too noisy/ grainy really and I can't seem to remove noise without removing detail so... I've not bothered really working on colours etc.

Pretty much out of the camera but cropped.




Maui, Hawaii in February.

This was an entry from last Summer. I have some others from a couple of months ago, but I haven't edited them yet.

I ran up the hill in the rain to get this one, widest lens is 24mm without the mag factor , both ends were on this property.

Pretty much the only raibow shot I have... the end of the rainbow was realatively close to where I was with my camera:)

Wow, that's a ton of rain!! That's as much moisture as we get in an entire year in this dry climate.

Here is my contribution to the Rainbow Pictures:
