Nerdy Physics info - light from a rainbow is polarized. Using a polarizing filter will make the rainbow pop out more. But … the light from the sides of a rainbow is polarized 90° away from light from the top. So you can’t make an entire semi-circular bow pop out with one setting of the filter. But it’ll work fine for a bow like you had, with just the “end” showing. Or take multiple shots and blend them.
I find that a circular polarizer, which is what I typically use, cuts the rainbow or drastically reduces its visibility in the camera. I take my CPL off, but I dont use a straight polarizer so I don't know. But it won't matter much because you still wont see all the colors if your white balance is off balance 🤣
Science that's how we know 😁 science tells us what a rainbow is supposed to look like because it's the full visible light color spectrum on display before us. I don't think this is a personal thing unless you have a color deficiency.
Some things are best done the hard way. Compare the two methods and you'll see it in a heart beat. Firefly = crap quality on a Sony A1 file. The resolution is far too low for high quality work. But then again, so many people settle for McDonalds when they've got 5 star restaurants in town... To each their own.
Cool video and thank you for the rainbows 🍻🥳🍄🐰🤩
Thanks! Enjoy the process 😁
I've been following this channel for soooo long I knew immediately which waterfall was yours Blake 😀
😁 option C? Lol

Can't believe you were thinking of not answering...
The thought crossed my mind...
I was in the "replace the rainbow???!!!" crowd at the start, but I think I've been converted.
😁
Thank you for the rainbow , the pot of gold was not there anymore....
I pilfered that long before I sent these to you. I have three growing boys 🤣
How do we really know how it's "supposed to look"......I can't look through your eyes, nor you through mine.

Why do tricky when you can do easy .... Far better result with firefly
