You mean the polarizer will be effective disregarding the sun's position? 2. Time-allowing, is it possible to obtain the mountain in the histogram, for rainbow shots? Darren

2. Time-allowing, is it possible to obtain the mountain in the histogram, for rainbow shots?

I always wondered about using a polarizing filter. I assumed it would get rid of the rainbow sense it is reflected light, so I never tried it, but I might have to now, just to see what happens. Also try HDR rainbow shots, though they kind of tend to blow out the colors for me. https://picasaweb.google.com/darthdoc/BackyardRainbowHDRs?feat=directlink Good stuff.

I'd appreciate a tip on how to photograph a fountain rainbow. I'm using a pro-zoomer camera, so feel a bit limited. Just a couple of days ago I was passing a fountain on our central square and saw the rainbow forming, and I thought it would be fun to photograph it - but was without my camera. And now this article appears, yay! So if you could give me some tips, they would be deeply appreciated! P.S. I really loved the photos the other members posted, especially Kerstenbeck's - fantastic work! Great article!
