How to Photograph the Moonbow 

Doing like the park suggested. A good and sturdy tripod. Camera with a Manual exposure mode. F4 aperture with a 4 minute exposure except I'm using 800 speed film instead of the 400 mentioned on the old sign at the park. The park suggests you use fast film . Flash photography doesn't work. Just do a few practice shots on a moonlit night to see what your camera can do. Digital works well.

 

The best place to view the moonbow and setup your camera is the upper level{the lower level is a good spot,too}, but any place around the waterfall is a good place to see the moon rainbow. Make sure the source of moon light {the Moon} is behind you. It depends on where the moon rises and the other factors on where the moon rainbow starts and which direction it moves. The length of the moonbow viewing time depends on the moon's path and the other listed factors below.
