 Still learning the Leica. Trying out a used 28mm 2.8 I picked up at a good price. A couple of generations old, but in excellent condition.

On our way out of town we saw this gorgeous double rainbow after driving through a summer shower.

Taking a risk entering a rainbow in B&W, but should get some interesting responses. I hope so, anyway. A rainbow over an Interstate just isn't that interesting in color.

Strong composition, I love the light on the tanker too. Adds a bunch to the image.

It's rare to see a monochrome rainbow. Works well for this everyday scene.

To see one rainbow is something but to experience its echo also must be quite something! I like the nostalgic feeling here

Interesting, but I'm sure how I feel about a black & white rainbow. I suppose if I stared at it long enough, it might grow on me.


It does.

Nothing like a rainbow in b&w. It's so surreal looking.
