Somewhere, Over the...

Photographing rainbows is challenging:

• They don't appear very often so there's little opportunity to practice;
• They don't usually last very long so you only get a short period of time to capture the shot;
• And, because of the atmospheric requirements for their formation it can be quite a trick to keep the rain off the lens as you look skyward.

These two pictures were take about 2 minutes apart from slightly different vantage points and have had about ½ the original image cropped. Each was processed slightly differently but neither really does justice to the awesome rainbow (rainbows actually - there was a clear secondary spectrum visible) which my colleagues and I enjoyed late this afternoon.
