Description

f/5.0, 60th, 18-55mm, 30 mins before dusk.
Driving home from a photo shoot this rainbow appeared over the Barossa. I stopped at the end of my street and quickly scrambled over the fence onto the railway line to grab this shot. Odd that one would present a rainbow in B&W but - it worked well I thought :-)

Thanks for the comments guys - let you in on a secret. The colour pic is awful :-( Thats why I chose to use B&W and enhance the tonal values in PS :-).
Happy to post the colour pic for comparison but warn that it is very ordinary.

regards, Graham #1960377
