after the rain – a rainbow to enhance the landscape photo
Toronto. Landscape photos seem better when we add in some bad weather effects. This example shows not rain, but the effect of rain when it ends.
Rainbows have traditionally meant that better times were ahead. For a photographer, a rainbow can be incorporated in a landscape shot to enhance the impact of the shot on the viewer.
The rain soaked landscape seems to have saturated colours. Puddles or runoff can often be worked into the image to create drama. Both B&W film, colour film and digital cameras can use rainbows (and rain) effectively.
Rainbows remind me of Kermit the Frog on Sesame street and his soulful little song,”Rainbow Connection“. Here the song is sung as a duet by Kermit and Barbra Streisand.
