Allan Bell Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Got my tripod out to take a shot for the first time in about 5 or 6 years. Set up to take a selfie in the lounge for a passport type photo of my ugly mug for an ID card for a club I recently joined. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 17 hours ago, Reimar said: Good catch John. That is a pretty intense rainbow. I still had the RAW file on my computer, so I could check. The primary rainbow was indeed there, but not so intense. I remember waiting until the end just hit the Maid of the Mist boat. I must have added a processed rainbow to bump it up that much. The secondary rainbow I can hardly see on the plain RAW file, so that must be artificially enhanced as well. Luckily I remembered to reverse the secondary rainbow spectrum. Hey, you know, this ain't the National Geographic. I figure with stock photography, pumping up the saturation and contrast for punchier images is a good thing 🙂 I'm sure that even the venerable National Geo does its share of photo-manipulation. It's interesting how tastes have changed. When I first started shooting digital, the owner of the small stock agency that I used to deal with told me to go easy on saturation because clients didn't like it. I'm still not a fan of being punched in the eyeballs. Guess I'm old-fashioned that way. Very nice Niagara Falls image, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I love those stormy day bright subject shots. One of mine below. Wight Sun vehicle and passenger ferry taken from deck of Wight Light ferry in Lymington estuary Hampshire England I ought to put a rainbow in it.

The mild form of a storm chaser. Allan I'm still awaiting the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the 'sunny uplands' that were promised and £350k for the NHS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this one will sell like hot cakes. Keep us posted re number of sales. Sunny uplands, Brexit, financial doom and gloom and all that. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to re-keyword the image in light of more recent events. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been one search for rainbow canary wharf this year according to AoA. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Douglas Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Morecambe, Lancashire, UK. 30th Apr, 2020. With April showers, a rainbow shines over the Big Kid Circus on Morecambe Promenade. The travelling Circus is stranded due to the Covid-19 lockdown, unable to run its shows or to travel on to another location due to the movement restrictions, but local people and organisations have rallied round to help the circus troupe.
