Liners' Photoblog
Pot of gold?
Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 24 November 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
After the clear view to the Kaikouras (yesterday) the cloud came over from the west and gave us a gentle splattering of warm rain. This double rainbow was the result, you can just see it to the left. The cloud and the hill cast a shadow on the beach and some of the ocean whilst the sun still shines down from the other side of the hill onto the ocean. The white horses were glimmering. A better camera would have shown this perfectly:-( All donations welcome LOL!!!

Nothing wrong with this great shot Liners !! And remember Cameras don´t take photos,people do.I´ve posted so many shots on this blog taken with my old 3 mgp compact with 3x zoom.A relic from the early days of digi photography(as I was still using a film SLR) and they are some of the best shots I´ve taken and all got very positive reviews from you lot !!

This just adds more to the impression that you are living in paradise. I agree with Anthony the vision comes first, but I have felt that a better camera would enhance your work, well talk after the recession. :D

fantastic capture of the double rainbow and the sunlight on the water! apparently, i read somewhere that, the colours in the double rainbow are always in reverse - i can't quite make out the order in this image though. very cool Liners!

@Kathryn: Thanks Kathryn, the colours were in reverse!!!

How wonderful to get this shot! In all the years I've been taking pictures, I've never got a double-rainbow. Beautiful photo and gorgeous location. Lucky, lucky you!
