    Hello all,

    For those interested; this image is a composite of three images stitched together using PSE5 Photomerge. Taken with a Nikon D70, shot in RAW, F/11, manual metering, exposure and focus. RAW files rendered with Abode LightRoom. Taken early morning 2 days ago, this rainbow preceded heavy rain from the south (left) prior to an equestrian event.

    Kindest regards
    Wayne Brasch

    Ooops….should read KH (Kelvin-Helmholtz)

    Thanks GW, I quite like B&W and have been playing around with various digital B&W processes. Actually I either like lots of colour or none at all. 7 out of the 11 image I have submitted to CAS are in B&W!

    Thanks Grizzly, sort of does have a few HK characteristics! Actually about a month before I took this shot I did see my first and perfect HK just west (to the right) of where this image was taken. You guessed it, I didn’t have my camera with me. At the time I was working and although I only live about 100 meters from where I work, at the time I was taking and injured bird to the bird recovery centre just up the road. Within 5 minutes the HK had all but vanished, no photo but I have the memory!

  3. grizzly says:

    It almost looks like a KH wave cloud except it’s on a horizontal axis instead of a vertical one. Anyone else think that?

    Nice to see a black+white image for a change. Gives us a different appreciation of clouds. Thank you!

  1. Wayne Brasch says:

    Thanks for the comments.

    Jill I was using a Marumi Circular Polarizing filter to help prevent blowing out the hightlights in the clouds. It was used at maximum polarization (90 degree angle to the sun) and the bi-product was the deep blue sky.

  2. Gerard. says:

    Great sense of depth;the Cumulus almost floats out of the picture.Love it!

  3. M.Worrall says:

    Well,I like the contrast.

  4. Jill D Mabbott avatar Granny Weatherwitch a.k.a Jill says:

    Nice clouds, but you overdid the sky filter and/or contrast adjustment (I guess a filter which has graduated blue colouring from the top downwards). Overhead sky just doesn’t get that inky-black in the daytime, especially in sunlight! Try a polarising filter instead, or hold polarised sunglasses in front of the lens to try this out before buying a camera filter.

  1. Absolutely stunning pic! Unfortunately, on the occasions we headed over to Piha to try to get a glimpse, the conditions weren’t good for viewing. Would have loved to have seen the real thing. (Wayne, there is a PM for you over at the mnz forums)

  2. Jill Towers says:

    I too had the joy of this sight from my front verandah. So much better than Halley and yet so little acknowledgement from the general population.

    we are so enjoying watching it – thank you for your wonderful picture

    Fantastic – what a memorable sight and what a tail.
