Details About This Photo
Description: ISO 100, f18, 85mm, 1/125. One morning we had this amazing rainbow over the lake in te Anau New Zealand. The sky was more grey at that time. I chanched the color temperature, so that the grey went dark blue. That way the colours in the rainbow look more vibrant ant contrasty to the sky.
