RAINBOW
"TRY TO BE A RAINBOW IN SOMEONE'S CLOUD"
Was it worth it?
We sat in the car for 3.5hrs while the rain lashed down and no sign could be seen of anything that looked like a break in the flat grey sky.
I felt sure that sometimes after stormy conditions, the sky takes on a dramatic feel.
When finally the rain eased but still the sky was nothing too great.
The temperature had dropped and even though we were well wrapped up, I began to feel the cold after a short while. I'd captured a few images but certainly not what I'd hoped for.
Then just as we'd headed back towards the car, the light changed, the clouds took on a great depth and it started to kick off. Ken spotted this rainbow but scared I'd miss it, I pointed the handheld camera at the nearest subject (sheep)
Well the rainbow continued to last and last, in fact there were two at one point.
I said to Ken, "I'm off to the Drinking dinosaur" as he lent against the car, thinking we were off.
The Benny Hill moment struck, you know the one, where you run as fast as your legs will carry you.
In my case "not very fast" praying that long lasting rainbow will stretch, just a little longer.
Finally I made it, Ken thought CPR might be in order lol!
I clicked away, hoping my quickly adjusted settings would be ok, with the newly acquired 5d. In the panic, the tripod had been left packed in the car and Ken being the wonderful husband he is ran back to get it for me.
Sadly all too late, as he cursed on his return
I just prayed the images I'd captured would be ok.
After all, it had been the best sky of the week. One in all honesty, I should have been better prepared for.
It gave us both a laugh afterwards, although we both ached that night
Almost forgot, if you look carefully there are some seals visible on the beach below. On one of the sunrise mornings we did, there must have been over 100 at one point
