John,
Normally they disappear so quickly, I don't even try to go for the camera.
When I saw this one, I immediately called for my wife to come see it. After
about a minute or two, I decided to rush for the cameras, believing I'd
never get back in time. Anyways, I began with the 17mm on the OM1n, as I
knew it is the only lens I have that would get the whole arc. My daughter
was trying to back up enough to get it in with her digital 410 stylus, and I
was trying to explain it wouldn't help. I took some shots with the arc
completely circling our little white church building, our house, etc. Of
course the 17mm was distorting the church building quite a bit, so I'll have
to see how they look in the picture. Some of our people who saw the rainbow
have already asked for prints of it with the church. I think that's a bit
premature, but oh well.
You've been here, so you know the place. Jean and I decided to walk up to
the falls, so I just took along the MJU with 2.8, thinking it would surely
be gone before we got there, as it is about 1/2 to 1 km walk. That was a
mistake. Anyways, like the C5050, it is only a 35mm wide lens, but I took
about another roll of 100vs, some with the arc ending over the falls, some
with it ending over the bridge, some over the chalet style house across the
falls, etc.
In all, it must have lasted well over 45 minutes, now that I think about it.
And it never really diminished in intensity. Very unusual in that way.
But it is not as intense in colors as yours, for sure.
