Quote: “I always use a polarizing filter for rainbows. Rotated the standard way, where it darkens the blue sky and cuts reflections, a polarizer will make a rainbow disappear. But rotated 90 degrees from that it will actually enhance the rainbow slightly.” – Michael Frye

Thoughts for the day: How many pictures to take
At the Sunnyvale Camera Monday night the overall winning image was of a young child jumping in a puddle during the first of the recent big storms. A charming image. But the point I want to make was that the winner took 150 images and then downselected for the best/most effective image. A number of other people in that contest also took a number of images of an item and then downselected for the best image. If you take 10 images and one is better, how much better would your final image be if you took 100 images? The best of the 10 best might be really good!
