Description:
It just isn’t fair to be so close to home and be blocked by the blackness. Just when things looked the bleakest, a sign appeared pointing a way around the storm. Jon followed it to a nice wet runway.
If this global warming keeps up, we’ll need to install airborne weather radar in the Florida
SeaReys.

Thanks, Don. Exposure, quantity and luck surely make a difference! The professional guy didn't have these advantages and produced some great stuff. Sigh.

The best cameras in the world don't necessarily take the best photos. The pro's, for example--especially that formation shot--are perfect, but look posed. Your rainbow shot, on the other hand, has the feeling of serendipity. It looks almost like a painting--the sort of elements and composition that a photographer might <i>wish </i>to have in a picture, but that only a painter could put there<I> by choice</I>.<P>Exposure, hmm... I wondered about that, seeing as how Jon's N-number seems to have vanished. Figured you'd probably shot at something like 1/500, with the lens stopped way down, maybe to f/12 or so, and a fairly high ISO, 400 perhaps--and then brightened the image on the computer, which would wash out the number. The aspect ratio suggests that you cropped it. Or turned the camera sideways. That's artist work.<P><img src="inline/20090-Rainbow_Deviation_Detail.jpg" alt="Rainbow_Deviation-Detail"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

Oh, that kind of exposure! I don't know anything about that. I was referring to being out there where rainbows happen. That was serendipitous.

Ok, Dan, I confess: I didn't guess about the camera settings. That data is all in the file. But I really was interested in how you got that shot--in addition to your being in Serendip, I mean. The fast shutter speed would compensate for shake with the long zoom, but I was surprised by the high f-stop, f/14. Now I'm going to see what my camera likes to do in shots like that.<br /><br />Anyway, it's a terrific picture! Very romantic, and the mist makes it sublime. (That was a technical term for a kind of art, especially among 19th century Romantics.)

Romantic? I don't remember Jane feeling particularly romantic about this situation. I reassured her that the plane needed washing and that we could use the pot o' gold.

I can imagine how it felt, Jon, having been in similar conditions over Lake Michigan with Rolf The Viking--except the we didn't even have a rainbow. But I was thinking of Romanticism, not the lower-case experience. Capital-R Romantics wanted to experience nature directly and intuitively and tended to distrust deductive reasoning as a way of understanding nature<I> truly</I>. I suppose you could say they'd have been seat-of-the-pants flyers, rather than instrument rated. (Here's a pretty good <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism"> brief discussion of Romanticism.</A> <!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

I hope it doesn't rain too hard, I'm sure Jon has a hard enough time just seeing over the dash let alone with all that rain on the windshield.
