Unusual Cloud

I photographed this strange cloud on January 18, 2008 from my backyard.

       

 

Rainbow #2

On August 8, 2007, around 8:00 p.m., Brian noticed this rainbow outside.  It wasn't nearly as large as the first one, but appeared in almost the same spot as the last one.  A few photos are enhanced in Photoshop to show the rainbow more clearly.

     

 

Rainbow

It's strange because I was just thinking a few weeks ago how I haven't seen a rainbow in about 4 years, not since the day I was heading home from a camping trip to go to my uncle's funeral.  On May 31, 2006, Brian went to a funeral for his friend's father and he called me on the way home to tell me there was a rainbow outside.  I quickly got my camera.  It was about 7:30p.m. when I took the pictures.  By 8:00, the rainbow was gone.  A few pictures have some blemishes from water droplets on the lens (it was raining when I took them), but I still thought they looked interesting.  I did make some adjustments in Photoshop to enhance the appearance of the rainbow.

The Moon

I hadn't thought to use my camera to photograph any scenes of the sky until 9-18-05, when I saw the moon the day after it was completely full.  I wondered if I could digitally capture what I saw.  It was necessary to use a tripod, but I was fairly satisfied with the results.
