Soooooo many days of rain, but I am not complaining. I love all the rain. At least now the storms are not continuous, and the time between storms creates some wonderful photographic opportunities. Big, white clouds are not the norm around here, but lately, as one storm system is leaving, another is approaching. The key is to get outside with a camera at the right time. On this day I went looking for photographs and for this one, I didn't even have to get out of my car.
This rainbow appeared while I was driving home from work one day.
This is one half of a full rainbow that arched over Santa Teresa Road. I was on my way to work and didn't have much time, but I pulled over and took two photos with my P&S Canon. I was hoping to merge them into a panorama, but the merge didn't work (probably because the photos were taken hand held through the windshield).
These next two photos were taken on Friday along McKean Road. I could hardly believe how beautiful the day was. The combination of blue and green set off with white ,was just amazing. I was on my way to an appointment and had not planned on taking any photographs, but the colors were so vibrant I had to stop and shoot. I only had my small Canon camera with me so I couldn't use a polarizing filter, but it looks like I didn't need it.
These next three photos I took today (Super Sunday). I saw the sky clear a bit, so I dropped what I was doing and headed out. The clouds were not quite as magnificent as they were on Friday, but I had an idea. I wanted to shoot the clouds through a tree. I found just what I was looking for on a side road off Hale Ave. This one is looking north.
This one is looking toward the south.
Another storm was approaching,and within an hour the white clouds had turned gray.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
