Great Bow here this evening!

Took this a couple of hours ago from my house in Larne. Pretty big, so zoom in and pan across!

It's a composite of four shots taken in portrait mode stitched in Panorama Plus 2.

That is absolutely superb! One of the best rainbow shots I've ever seen.

What camera did you use and what settings?

Superb image Paul!

Speaking of rainbows, I have noticed quite a few of these lately with all the wet weather. While driving the car, I usually wear prescription polaroid sungalasses. I noticed that the top half of rainbows are diffuclt to see with polaroids on while the bottom portions near the ground are easy to see. Anyone able to explain why this is the case?

Cheers,

The light in a rainbow is polarised. As you go round the circle the angle of polarisation changes. The bits that are closer to 90 degrees polarised with respect to your glasses will be almost invisible.

That make sense?
