A rainbow at The Rainbow Bridge.

[XPWizard]

After a resent trip to Niagara Falls, I now know why they named the Rainbow Bridge.



The bridge was officially opened on November 1, 1941.

Cool ... so I guess the mist from the falls creates this on sunny days?

[Hillbillygirl]

Definitely appropriately named, by looking at this shot.

[XPWizard]

Thanks HBG and Mad Aussie, yes there is tons of mist coming off both falls, so you just have to get the right angle for a rainbow.

Nicely caught. Certainly fits with the name of the bridge.

nicely done XP - I live about 15 minutes from here by car (don't shoot down there often because of the crowds and the ridiculous price to park).

Looks like you used a polarizer, Good on ya; they make rainbows pop!
Let me know if you want me to make a comment about the exposure.

[XPWizard]

Thanks asnow.

edG, ya $18 to park near the falls is nuts, I just walked from our hotel, but it was a lot.... of walking.

Marko, no polarizer used, I did play around in Lightroom to try and make the rainbow pop a bit.
I played with the exposure also in lightroom. Any comments about the exposure would be welcome, good or bad.

Ya fooled me then - thought u used a polarizer. maybe try one the next time you see a rainbow so you'll see what i mean. Without a doubt the polarizer is my most valuable accessory - ok maybe it goes head to head with the tripod...but still very valuable.

In terms of exposure, the image as a whole seems a good stop underexposed to my eye.
Hope that may help - Marko

Good call on the exposure Marko. I set it to -0.78 in lightroom.
Here is the same picture with exposure back to 0.
