Seeing Double

Brilliant double rainbow over Winchester, VA | Order a print here

My home has windows on both the east and west sides, big windows. The kind of windows that allow me to see what’s happening outside (in terms of weather) fairly well. I really enjoy seeing the brilliant colors of sunset and sunrises and most often just experience it. No photos. No scrambling to get gear from the office. Frequently, it’s because I’ll most definitely miss the moment. By the time I grab the correct equipment for the current scene, it’s gone. And not only have I missed the moment (photo op), I’ve also missed the moment. Does that make sense?

But this time…this time. I don’t know what it was that compelled me to scramble and grab my gear. I’m glad I did. I think it waited for me.

Luck

I completely stand behind my statement that I tell a lot of people about my photography.  There’s certainly a lot of luck involved.  Right time, right place.  As I gain experience, though, it’s becoming easier to be in that right place at that right time.

The Storm

As the double rainbow was strengthening, I was able to spin it around and catch the lightning! | Order a print of this image.
