Rainbow through windscreen by seanoneill

Rainbow through windscreen

I drove over to Peterborough with my boys yesterday, to see avery important football match.

I have some shots from the game, but none as captivating as this rainbow that we chased for about 10 miles!!

This was shot on my P&S through the windscreen whilst driving, so all things equal, I'm quite pleased with it!!

NOW THAT'S A RAINBOW!! I have taken shots of 2 rainbows in the past week.. but NOTHING anywhere near as gorgeous as this one! Those colours are vibrant and I love how they go behind those trees and you can see it touching the ground... AWESOME, Sean!

@ozziehoffy Thanks Cassandra, I missed out on a Double rainbow by a few seconds. It was get the double and crash the car, or wait!! I wimped out!!! Thanks for the great comment, you are always so kind and write such supportive and inspiring comments!!
April 18th, 2012  
@seanoneill Lol @ wimping out... I think I'd do the same and I think that your boys are pretty happy with that decision also! Thanks Sean... not hard when responding to great shots!
April 18th, 2012  
That is sooooo cool, glad you were a wimp.
April 18th, 2012  
Whoa!....Well done Sean, what a magical shot considering you were actualy driving!....Awesome rainbow capture! : )

@cathy366 @ozziehoffy Thanks both. I am delighted with the last few days, but the weather is bad here today so it is off to Macroland I think!!
April 18th, 2012  
Wow, this must be one of the clearest rainbows I've ever seen!

@susieb Thanks Susie.

One can never go wrong with a rainbow shot! Beautiful!
April 18th, 2012  
@rmkk Thank you.
April 18th, 2012  
An excellent capture. I don't think I've ever seen a rainbow quite as wide and hitting the ground like this one. It almost makes you believe in the pot of gold.
April 18th, 2012  
wow! cool rainbow! I wonder if there is a leprechaun hiding in that tree! lol
April 18th, 2012  
Amazing Rainbow .... why didn't you hand the camera to one of the boys?
be careful Sean, I know I probably would have done the same think which is not a good thing.
April 18th, 2012  
nice capture sean
April 18th, 2012  
Great capture
April 18th, 2012  
Fab capture Sean :)
April 18th, 2012  
What perfect rainbow!
April 18th, 2012  
Ditto what everyone else has said Sean. I love the vibrancy of the colours and that it hits the ground. Well done.
April 18th, 2012  
I love the curve to the road in this shot. You did well to capture that rainbow.
April 18th, 2012  
I'm more impressed with the bust of Edward Lear that the tree on the right has managed to grow
April 18th, 2012  
Beautiful shot...
April 18th, 2012  
It's a great shot
April 19th, 2012  
Beautiful
April 19th, 2012  
Wow, that's a vibrant rainbow, nice capture (sorry about the double rainbow, but more important that you & the kids are still in one piece)! Great composition and clarity for a driving shot. And I must compliment you on your crystal clean windshield! :)
April 19th, 2012  
Beautiful rainbow!
April 19th, 2012  
Wow, fantastic! That rainbow is perfect!!!
April 19th, 2012  
Wow - so vibrant. Great moving vehicle P&S capture !!
April 19th, 2012  
Beautiful capture! Especially given the constraints!

April 19th, 2012  
Bautiful capture! Fav for me!
April 20th, 2012  
More evidence that everyone should carry their p&s with them at all times. You just never know when you're going to get a stunner like this one!
April 22nd, 2012  
@marzenka Thank you so much, glad you like it!
April 22nd, 2012  
@sheliwithani Thanks Sheli. Yes, you are right!

I'm guilty of photographing rainbows through my windshield, too. Sometimes it's the only way to get them. And don't you just love it when you drive right through one? I never thought that was possible, but here in Hawaii, it happens frequently....especially when I catch up with one before entering a tunnel, which stops the rainbow from moving. Nice capture, Sean, and I do mean CAPTURE!
April 24th, 2012  
Wow! are you sure this isn't photo shopped lol because I have never seen such a colorful, bright and more clear rainbow WOW just WOW! I absolutely Love the fact it touches the ground I've always wanted a rainbow picture so the other day I made one from the hose but it didn't come out as bright and colorful as this I sure hope I can find a rainbow like this one day but for now I'll just have to admire this one + Fav

@sandier Thanks Sandie, wow, sounds great to drive through a rainbow.
April 25th, 2012  
@flashster78 No PS used Lorraine, though some of my shots do get the hand of CS5!! So glad that you like it, and thanks ever so for the +Fav.
April 25th, 2012  
Beautiful rainbow. Did you ever come to the pot of Gold? :)
