BASIC TIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING THE RAINBOW
Before showing you the images, I want to offer you, in summary, some basic tips to achieve better rainbow photographs.
- Photograph it in context. The rainbow is beautiful, we have already said it, but it is more beautiful if you include it in a landscape and achieve a great composition of the whole.
- Or decontextualize it. Another option is to capture a detail, it is a completely different type of photography that you can capture with a good zoom.
- Composition. The rainbow is still a line to include within a composition, use it to direct the gaze or convey the sensation that interests you the most. You can also look for its reflection to create a closed circle, or use it as a natural frame.
- Places. You will not only find it after the rain, where there is falling water and sun, with the right angle it can also appear, waterfalls and fountains are a good example.
- Polarizing. If you use a polarizer, take care that it saturates the colors instead of washing them out, play with the position by rotating it to achieve the best effect.
- Background. A neutral background will make your rainbow stand out more.
