A rainbow can be one of the best muses when you make your next photoshoot. All it takes is being in the right place and at the right time…
This article was born while I was working on my Article Truth about RAINBOWS - revealing the secrets of the most known optical illusion. While I was picking the pictures to illustrate the concept I wanted, I just realized that there a lot of absolutely astonishing pictures and I can’t put them all in one article. So here I am writing the article about the beauty of these gorgeous optical phenomena captured by photographers across the world.
GRATITUDE to YOU, PHOTOGRAPHERS, Keepers of Time!
I would also state that this articles is my gratitude to all photographers with their passion to capture these unique moments for all of us. For me, they are the Keepers of Time as the moment which would go away unnoticed can be transformed and seen even a long time after.
And here the photos and their creators.

Moonbow on Easter Islands by Stephane Guisard
This photo was made on Easter Island. You can clearly see the Moonbow* along with the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds.
(*Moonbow is a type of a rainbow which is formed by moon light instead of sun and is typically much less bright so it is hard to catch.)

Red and Purple by Lindsey A Miller
If you did not know that there are monochromic rainbows existing (they also called red rainbowd) and the photographer Lindsey A Miller was lucky enough to capture one in Atlanta, US.

A “white rainbow” or Fogbow by Melvin Nicholson
Technically speaking it is not exactly a rainbow but a phenomena very similar to it. The difference is that the bow appears in fog not a rain. At the same time it is widely called “a white rainbow” so I thought it deserves to be part of the collection.
