News Special photo moments – rainbows

6 October 2017 Kate

As well as for the obvious practical purposes of continuous interval capture needed for projects taking place over extended periods of time, this type of photography can sometimes isolate particular magical ‘moments’ or meteorological phenomenons, such as rainbows.

Rainbows appear in the sky when sunlight enters a raindrop from one direction and is then reflected off the back of it. Part of the incoming light that is reflected back, does so over a wide range, with the most intense light appearing at 42°.

White light separates into different colour upon entering the raindrop because of dispersion, which is what forms the colourful bows in the sky.

Our camera systems are fully operational and functioning at capacity in any weather and so we have captured many a rainbow over various parts of the UK. Here’s a selection of some of the best.

Even on the cloudiest of days, then, there’s still photo opportunities to be had!
