Bobby Beasley was staying in his 1984 Volkswagen T25 Campervan with girlfriend Rach when he took this photo. The couple were on the Isle of Harris, in the Outer Hebrides. \u201cWe\u2019ve both always loved camping and getting out to remote spots, preferably on the coast,\u201d Beasley says. \u201cThe west coast of Scotland is one of our favourite areas to\u00a0explore.\u201d<\/p>\n
On their first morning at Horgabost Campsite, with its views over Luskentyre beach and its Caribbean-style white sand and turquoise waters, they awoke to a\u00a0thick sea fret. \u201cAs it burned away and lifted a\u00a0little, the early morning sun shone through from the mountains behind and caused this crazy-looking ghost rainbow,\u201d Beasley says. The pair didn\u2019t lose their chance at this shot, \u201chence why Rach is standing in her pyjamas! I didn\u2019t want to miss the moment, especially as it was positioned so perfectly over our van.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that in mind, Beasley used the camera most immediately at hand: his iPhone 11. He applied no edits aside from cropping to a 4:3 ratio. \u201cI made sure when taking it that I\u2019d put the focus on Rach and that the sky wasn\u2019t overexposed,\u201d he adds. \u201cI liked having my shadow in the shot, too. It makes for a nice triangular composition.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair had never seen anything like it before. While the mist stuck around for the rest of the day, casting an ethereal light on their surroundings, the ghost rainbow was soon gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bobby Beasley was staying in his 1984 Volkswagen T25 Campervan with girlfriend Rach when he took this photo.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[76,354,355,49,48,356,75],"class_list":["post-90967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
