Very awesome!<br />Rainbows are notorious for never photographing the same way that they actually appear. Maybe that's the true magic about them?<br />It's so weird to me how PNW folks adore their volcanoes. To me they just look scary and as for Mt Ranier....very intimidating.<br /><br />Oh and it's funny but we just enjoyed that same Kirkland brand of lasagne last week!<br /><br />Hike On!<br />~Twinville Trekkers<br /><br />word verif: fienti<br /><br />Sounds like something one might say after they ate an entire brick of lasagne.<br /><br />ps and what did you mean by *real milk*? :DLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-67982702484681427032011-01-19T04:55:46.269-08:002011-01-19T04:55:46.269-08:00That is some incredible scenery!

I put up the two photos side-by-side and not only did the second rainbow come out, but the rocks in the foreground look hugely improved as well. More three-dimensional and "alive" as it were. I had no idea how overexposed that photo was until just now! =)<br /><br />I had trouble getting the photo in the first place because the clouds were so thin and whispy. When I moved across the ridge, pieces of the rainbow and my shadow would appear and disappear, but it was quite obvious what I was seeing. I had trouble finding a location where I could capture the entire rainbow in just one static shot. I suspect my shadow was probably "lost" due to a particularly thin spot in the fog right where it would have shown up. It's hard to tell, though, because the white snow behind it makes it hard to see how much cloud is there to form a shadow on.<br /><br />I've seen this on two other occasions when there was a *solid* layer of clouds below me and the rainbow and shadows showed up much better, but alas, I didn't have my camera at all on those occasions. *sigh*<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />-- RyanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243706924573005381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-71066685607837125382011-01-17T11:35:52.588-08:002011-01-17T11:35:52.588-08:00Very cool!
