Rainbow; Tips to catch That Magical Light

Rainbows require two simple ingredients—sunlight and raindrops. They combine at just the right angle to colonize a beautiful picture. The colors are formed when raindrops separate white sunlight into the component colors of the rainbow. Water drops act like little prisms. This light-bending process is called refraction. The separate colors are then reflected off the raindrops; each drop of water reflects a single color that changes with your angle of view. This is why the colors appear in stripes.

Rainbows only appear during the early morning and late afternoon. Rainbows are reflected below the horizon once the sun rises above 30°. I have had my best luck chasing rainbows during the last three hours of the day.

Heavy rain and bright sunlight create rainbows with the most vivid colors. The edge of a storm is a perfect time to find bright sunlight reflecting rainbows off pouring rain

This Motorola site offers you a canvas for drawing. You can pick from several colors of “ink.” (The colors correspond to the colors of Motorola’s phones).

Maybe you’re not good at drawing. That’s okay. Fortunately for us, it’s not drawing in the traditional sense. Each stroke is actually a series of abstract shapes. So you get some really cool designs.

Spend some time playing around. Notice how the shapes change size based on your mouse’s movements.

Maybe you’ll come up with something cool. In that case, you can save it as an animated screen saver and desktop wallpaper. Of course, Motorola would also like it if you shared it with friends and family!
