Rainbows & Sunshine - Week #3

Posted by Josh Hoffman on the Big Photo Hunt community board.

This week's challenge/theme is Rainbows & Sunshine.

The images I'm sharing are technically artificial rainbows, where water is bouncing off the metal in the frame and creating this beautiful rainbow. In the second image, oil and water are reacting together, I believe, with the rainbow being an image I brought up on my phone, creating this cool abstract oily rainbow design when the two elements blend to make this image. I honestly can't remember the exact details of how I created the second image, as it's all the way back in 2020.

For this challenge, I encourage you to go find and capture some rainbows or share some of the rainbows you have captured in the past.

I'm interested to see what everyone comes up with. You can post your photos here on this post, and we can all have a conversation about our experiences with the rainbows in the comments down below.

A new photo challenge will be put up every two weeks on Monday.

This gives people time to see the challenge and get a chance to participate in it. That being said, you can participate in this challenge at any moment, as this thread won't be deleted at this current moment in time.

This is a great idea! I’m personally obsessed with iridescence and rainbows etc so I’ve found a few of the best I’ve got. The first two are ancient and shot on iPhone unprocessed and the last is Olympus edited in Lightroom

Here's a Rainbow sign shot many years ago at the NY State Fair in Flushing Meadow Park in Corona, NY!
