The Lifeguard Chair and the Rainbow

Devereux beach was my first stop after Saturday's storm passed and the sun dipped below the clouds. As I arrived, I saw this rainbow in the distance and noted that the lifeguard chairs were back. These were a favorite subject last year (click here) and I quickly ran to compose this image containing two of my 'favorite things'. It was only after shooting this rainbow that I turned and noted the much larger one situated over the Neck. I posted the first shot of that bow over Children's Island on Monday (click here) and have more to share in the [...]

Double Rainbow over Children’s Island

We had a great lightning storm pass through town on Saturday night during which I captured a number of bolts over the harbor (click to view). Immediately after the show, I raced home to avoid the brunt of the rain and wind. As the storm wound down, I noted the sun dropping below the clouds and thought I would try to push my luck and hunt for rainbows. As I drove toward the causeway, I saw one off Devereux beach and quickly stopped to grab some shots. It was small and I resigned myself that I had missed my chance [...]

Rainbow over the Ocean at Devereux Beach

We had a great fast storm roll through on Friday with lightning and rain. I arrived home from work just as the storm passed and ran inside to grab my camera. I headed straight to Devereux hoping to catch a rainbow (though I had my doubts as the sun hadn't yet popped up from behind the clouds). As I drove into the parking lot, this is the sight I beheld. A beautiful rainbow in the distance and an empty beach with great clouds and distant rain. I jumped out of the car and ran down to the water. I snagged [...]

Sailing Under the Rainbow

In early June 2010, I had gone to Fort Sewall in the hopes of shooting the sailboats as they got into the harbor. Initially, I was quite disappointed as the heavy cloud cover made for very flat light. At around 6pm, a storm developed just past Childrens Island. The boats were really moving in the winds that came with the sudden inclement weather. Just as the storm passed and the boats moved across Childrens Island, the sun finally popped through the cloud cover. With the heavy rain that you see in the background and the setting sunset light, an incredibly [...]

Over the Rainbow

The same storm that brought about the reflection shots of the lighthouse also produced a rainbow over Children's Island. I had raced out of the house after the storm blew by in hopes of catching a rainbow and got to the parking lot at Chandler Hovey park just as the sun peeked through the clouds. The location of the rainbow was perfect - it was an unusually flat one likely due to the angle of the sun - and neatly covered Children's Island. The rainbow lasted only a few minutes and I felt lucky to have captured it.
