A storm is due to hit and the winds are here first, stirring the upper clouds. If you look carefully you will see Marge Simpson lying on her back. Let

Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning.

I was driving towards the storm and noticed a horizontal rainbow.

Behind The Lens

Location

This is the view from my kitchen. It was taken midsummer, and the clarity of the air was incredible. I had only been living here for a few months so was still totally in love with the view. As I'm untrained, I have to point and shoot and I can't claim any expertise.

Time

This was midday. Obviously at full tide.

Lighting

Point and shoot means I don't get to choose the light - I was cooking and decided to quickly take a shot.

Equipment

I used a Canon PowerShot A4000 IS, the settings were as follows (copied from under the photo) settings Aperture 40/10?ISO 125?Shutter 1/1000?Focal Length 16933/1000

Inspiration

I glanced up and thought it would be a nice picture.

Editing

I don't know how.

In my camera bag

At that stage, all I had was the camera. Now I have a Nikon 3400, in a bag. No other lenses.

Feedback

New Zealand light is particularly bright in summer. I live in this tiny fishing village and there is no pollution to speak of. I highly recommend getting away from the populated areas and taking photos of anything and everything. When you get back to the city you can compare and see the difference.
