Rainbow
On Thursday I drove down Dune Rd. with the hope that the thunderstorm would move on and give me some quality evening light. Just as I had driven past the Quogue Wetlands Preserve I noticed this rainbow that had formed and doubled back to get an unobstructed shot of it
I had to boost the saturation a lot to bring out the colors in the rainbow, as I didn't have a CPL (polarizing) filter and as such the orange may be a bit over the top and their isn't a well defined color band. Here is a photo of the boardwalk crossing over a freshwater marsh at the preserve:
After I got this shot, I looked down in the mosquito ditch that runs below the boardwalk and saw 2 muskrats getting frisky. Behind me was a third muskrat (likely another male, as at one point 2 of them seemed to be fighting, with the loser literally flying through the air and landing in the water):
I changed lenses to get more SS and a little more focal length:
And here the muskrat is swimming in the little canal:
As I'm a little behind, here are some groundhog shots from last week:
The other day I stopped at Quogue Wildlife Refuge to photograph some frogs, and happened upon some ferns and skunk cabbage that were perfect for my macro lens:
