Tokyo Rainbow

By the time I went to grab the Lumix, the second rainbow had faded and left its partner behind. Taken last weekend. Camera does not capture the real beauty though. Wonder how many years it will be when they have 360 cameras.
As for what time I took this photo - well its the question for round 2 of the 3 figure giveaway over at Figure.fm.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

I saw huge rainbow last year right when I was going home from a part time job. It was right after a severe thunderstorm and the sun was setting - perfect conditions. If the ground didn't exist, it probably would've appeared as a full circle.

Sugoi!! Very nice capture Danny!! Pretty good for the Lumix. At what resolution is the original and does it look as good on fullscreen? (as a wallpaper...?) Cause the lighting looks amazing! I love the blue in the back and the crisp orange of the sunset reflecting on the clouds. subarashii....

You can always get your hands on a 10mm || 14mm lens or something simillar - Not exactly 360° but close enough.

The other day we had some massive thunder storms here. I saw at least 5 or 6 rainbows next to each other in various sizes. Really a beautiful sight.

I like how there's different colors of the sky as the clouds sort of thin and fade out to the right.

Rainbows are always beautiful, have not had the chance to capture one on camera as yet though. Not as bright a picture but, beautiful nonetheless ^o^~

The picture look a bit dim and dark.. don't you think?
Secondary rainbow are created because the light that went through the raindrop reflected the second time so as a result a beautifully double rainbow is created.

I actually passed the first round, but I obviously guessed wrong on this one. Maybe I should just have copied other people. >_<;

Is a nice pic, because we can see almost all the curve of the rainbow. Sometimes, even if the colour are bright and beauty, just show a little part of the rainbow.

Very crimson, Only ever seen one here once in Canada. Oddly gray, maybe around... 10 years ago?

Been a while since I've seen a full rainbow like that. The best rainbows I saw were after a good rain in California. Not alot of trees or buildings to obscure the view.

Rainbows are lovely. Always like to look at them, but I think that since they are so common here, I kind of tend to take them for granted.

Photos rarely do rainbows justice. :P Most of their awe and beauty comes from their stretching from horizon to horizon, which you can't capture well on camera. It's hard to set up foreground/background composition, and the colors are difficult to capture as well. ^^; Mine usually turn out a bit on the cool side.

rain is always good!!!
Rainbows are a lovely thing to see as often as possible..........
I think I´ve seen double rainbows twice in my life.......they are so cool!!
Btw.....the name of the space between the double rainbow is called ALEXANDER´s BAND.
Cheers!

I've been brainwashed. Everytime I see rainbows I'm reminded of the Muppet movie I watch endlessly as a kid.
