Rainbow at Narada Falls

Taken at Narada falls at Mt Rainier National Park, one of the many waterfalls in this region and is named after the divine sage Narada of the Hindu tradition. Narada is a devotee of Vishnu, and is also known as the delightful character causing quarrels among Gods.

This shot was not a particularly easy one, given that there is a constant heavy spray of water. This meant that within seconds, both you and your camera lens would be completely soaked, and you'll have to back off, wipe the lens clean, point your camera at the general direction of the water and take another shot. Rinse and repeat.

I can think of another composition: I would stay at a safe distance and take pictures of photographers trying to take pictures, while trying to keep themselves and the gear from getting soaked. Now that would make a "human interest" picture. ;-)

@sajith - yes, that would have made a nice shot. But the thing is, there's no place to go to a safe distance to - imagine a huge waterfall and a narrow bridge parallel to the fall but heading downhill. I was at the point on the bridge that's closest to the falls.
