In Defense Of Double-Rainbow Guy

By now, I'm sure most of us have enjoyed a hearty chuckle at the expense of "Double-Rainbow Guy" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI), but on our recent 10-year anniversary visit to Kill Devil Hills, NC, [Maris] and I were reminded of just what it is that makes the D-R Guys of the world lose it. Our double rainbow wasn't quite as strong as the one in his infamous video, but my trusty D-80 and I were able to capture a few images of the "main" rainbow. Yes, it did manage to go "full-on," and stay that way, for a few minutes, and yes - words and even these photographs simply do not do it justice. Above, one of the cool aspects of the phenomenon was the reflection of the rainbow itself on the surface of the Atlantic.

18mm wide-angle shots - still not wide enough to capture the 'bow end-to-end.

North end.

North end, zoomed!

South half.

South end - zoomed!

There's your peek at 2010 material. Next, back to the film files for more early-to-mid 2000s stuff...
