Moonbow over Coogee beach

In a winter morning, I arrived Coogee beach (Sydney, Australia) at

5.30am. It was still dark and raining. I planed to wait for a while to

see if the rain could stop in a moment. Then I saw a small white curve

over the sky on my right side. So I decided to take a photo of it.

It was too dark to focus on any objects even with my small torch

switched on. So I just manually adjusted the focus distance between 1

meter to infinity and a bit closer to infinity. I turned the aperture

to f/2.8 to measure the shutter speed under IS) 200, then turned back

to f/11. I would need about 8 minute exposure. Then I fired my remote

shutter release. It was still raining, I used my hat to protected my

camera lens.

After 458 seconds exposure, I saw a complete Moon bow hanging over the

sky - I found out later that it was a moon bow, not rainbow.

Thanks for viewing this picture.
