Inclement Weather & Rainbow

[Andrew McLachlan]

Full rainbow photographed over newly plowed agricultural field directly across the road from my home. The storm was passing through quite quickly so I ran outside with my gear to capture what I could while the rainbow lasted. Keeping the front of the lens free of raindrops was a challenge but I protected the gear inside my rain coat until it was time to grab a few images.

I saw this on instagram before and fell in love instantly. Beautiful light, a lot of drama, and very impactful!

Very nice Andrew.. Beautiful light & tones, and well seen & executed. I have a preference toward Pano images hence I might suggest you crop a little off the top.

Great timing to capture the whole rainbow. Dramatic sky and beautiful light over the fresh earth.
