On Monday, July 27, a storm cloud passed over Marblehead a little after 6pm. Given the timing of the rain and the direction it was headed, I figured there was a pretty good chance for capturing a rainbow over Marblehead Harbor. I quickly decided on Crocker Park as my destination and packed up the car.
Once I reached Crocker Park, I headed across to the railing overlooking the harbor and saw the rainbow illuminated directly over Marblehead Neck. I also spotted a few kids down at the float and headed down the walkway with this image in mind. The tide was high enough to allow for jumping off the bridge connecting the float to the park and, sure enough, I saw the three kids walking up with that idea in mind. I quickly composed this shot and adjusted the camera settings to allow for a burst of captures. This one froze the boy and two girls in midair as the rainbow shone behind them.
