Rainbow, France

Photo: A rainbow above a wind turbine in northern France
Quality of light is always changing and one of the best times to experience this is during a thunderstorm when the sun breaks through the clouds and shines on the rain. Then you might see a rainbow, which can always add a surprising element to a landscape. Here in northern France,
for instance, the rainbow draws attention to the main subject, the modern wind turbine. I walked along the road so I could exactly place the foot of the turbine to where the rainbow ended.
Tell a story with your composition. Photographing a rainbow by itself is pretty dull. What always makes the photo more interesting is when a story is told through interesting geographic or editorial elements in the composition. Then the rainbow has added value. Be sure to bring along your polarizing filter for these occasions, since it does a great job of strengthening the colors in a rainbow.
