Photographing the Moonbow
One of the earlier Moon Rainbow Photos Made at Cumberland Falls _March 2003 xx A moon rainbow (also known as a moonbow, lunar rainbow, lunar bow, or white rainbow) is a rainbow produced by the moon rather than the sun. Moon rainbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light from the Moon. They are always in the opposite part of the sky from the moon. How to Photograph the Moonbow
First digital attempt. Click here for the digital settings used. 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. It is difficult for the human eye to discern colors in a moonbow because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in human eyes. As a result, they often appear to be white. However, the colors in a moon rainbow do appear in long exposure photographs. Current Camera settings for film There is a trick to focus a Camera to take the Moonbow Pictures. If you look through the view finder, it will be dark. Select the link above for the trick.
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. Moonbow Photo tips The Full Moon rises at sunset.
