Went out for a look at the large Sunspot 798 around lunchtime today and was surprized to see an amazing Sunbow, this is the second time this week i have seen one.
Only this time i was with a friend & he had a camera (Thanks Notch)

That's cool Ian! I love seeing Moonbows!! Usually means nice weather the next day.

I have seen a few Moonbows too, this is the first time I have seen such a striking Sunbow though !

Yeah, I've never seen one that prominent. Only ever seen very pale ones, and they were many years apart.

Certainly would've been a nice sight!

That's a great shot. Always pays to carry a camera!

Nice pic, it seems a little over zoomed, or is that just my screen?

You don't see them everyday.

Image should be a bit better sized now!
Pays to read the tutorial on Irfanview, shown on this forum.
If you save a JPG first then resize it does not work as well as a resize of the original image then save as JPG at 80%
All I have to do now is get a good Quality "true" pocket sized digital so i always have a good quality camera on hand !
