Rainbow over the Witham

[Keeping Up]

I thought I'd post this picture I took of a wonderful rainbow over the Witham near Lincoln.

 

 

I've never noticed this effect before, where the light is so much brighter inside the rainbow than out - is it unusual, or is it just me?

Is that Southery Alan or down near Chapel Hill?

 

I was in the village yesterday afternoon (Metheringham) and there was a superb double rainbow - in fact there was a hint of a triple

Neither, although the scenery for all of them is certainly very similar; it was taken at Washingborough last month.

It's still there for me Tim. Can't you see it?

Nope, just a little red cross

I have seen this before in 'photos, my guess is that the effect is something to do with the UV content of the light, bet you didn't notice it when viewing the rainbow direct?

You could be right. You'd win your bet, I didn't notice it when looking at it directly.

 

The camera incidentally is a Panasonic digital, and I didn't have my UV filter attached at the time. Next time I see a rainbow I must go and try taking pictures with and without the filter.

Pic there for me, and it's a damn stunning one.
