This photo was taken on Dartmoor near tavistock , devon England.Time
it was taken mid afternoon.Lighting
naturalEquipment
canon 7dInspiration
I was a bricklayer at the time and was "rained off work" (cant lay bricks in the rain) , so I went home and grabbed my canon 7d and drove to the moors! I noticed the weather had past over for a bit, so I jumped out of the car and walked the half mile across the moor to a much photographed local beauty spot known as windy cross! when I finally reached the location I couldn't believe my luck as a double rainbow appeared in between the showers! excited, I looked for the best composition. The full rainbow was far to big to fit in frame and still create a great photo (in my eyes) , so a little disappointed I re fought the shot and decided the shot you see was the best I could get! this did involve me standing in the ice cold stream in my trainers and tracksuit bottoms, the walk back across the moors was a little bit cold and squelchy to say the least but worth it.Editing
a little in photoshop.. I always take my images in raw which all have to be post-processed.In my camera bag
when I took this I had a canon 7d , I don't use filters.Feedback
