Moonbow, B&W ala Ansel Adams.

My friend Dawn Endico asked for a black and white version of the moonbow–and I was doubtful; “Seems counter-intuitive, lunar rainbow=color!” was my twittered reply. I was wrong. Lots of drama, and this is closer to what most of us were seeing last night.
It’s important to remember that the human eye is limited at night; depending on the sensitivity of the cones and rods in our retinas, most of us can’t see color clearly at night.
Moonbows do contain a full spectrum of color. But for me, at best I see only faint hues, and most times I just see a white arc. Last night I actually saw relatively intense colors for the first time!
Edie,
Where abouts did you take the photo from I was up the entire weekend and got some of the lower fall but from the lower landing area just below the falls under the shade of the rocks as to not get the camera and lens to wet.
Thanks
Neville
I was on the paved area, at the right-hand end of the log. Yes, my lens got wet.
