I captured that double rainbow image at the Calero Reservoir County Park on the southern part of the Silicon Valley on February 8. I was there mainly to photograph Western and Clark's Grebes. The sky was clearing but I still got some rain so that I needed to cover up the camera and lenses. But of course without the rain, I wouldn't have gotten the rainbows.

This is one of the videos I captured that day. Pair rushing is a mating ritual for those grebes. Nikon Z9 with F-mount 600mm/f4 AF-S VR & FTZii.

That is an amazing video of the grebes. That is where the video capabilities of these cameras comes in handy.  The video tells a much bigger story.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video worth!!

Note: Consider keeping uploads no larger than 1600 pixels on the long side when it matters, and sticking with 1000 pixels when the image feels no pain at that resolution. On data size/compression, try to keep things under 1mb, shooting for 600kb when you can stop there. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc.). New to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: https://www.photo.net/forums/topic/398109-guidelines-for-nikon-forum-wednesday-image-threads. For now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Was that photo taken during the recent atmospheric river storm?  I was driving through the valley near Fresno on February 1 and saw a partial double rainbow, but not a nice as yours.
