REFRACTED REFLECTED MOON RAINBOW

Post by Derek Klepp »

No this is not a hoax but what I captured this morning.First I thought someone was shing a bright torch from somewhere then I saw the curve and realised the full moon was setting behind me.I scrambled my camera gear but had my daytime landscape setup on 5Ds instead of the 6D.This is the first time i have seen a full moonbow in my life. Pretty special considering it was also my sons birthday.
Enjoy Derek

Doubly special, Derek. It's actually a double 'moon rainbow'.

Nice one.
