Anyone else see the picture in the Guardian today of a superb

rainbow in
Bulgaria? I've never seen anything like it - surely not just clever
photography.


I agree with Tudor.

This one was taken on 15th December 2004 at 09:32 and is the raw

image
resized to 640 x 480. Note the faint secondary rainbow. I was very
lucky to get this as it lasted just long enough to pick up the camera
and shoot.

The camera is a Sony DSC-V1

That's absolutely brilliant, Alan. It shows very clearly how
much more light is reflected inside the bow compared with outside it.
A bit of ray-tracing shows why.
