Feature Photo: The End of The Rainbow

Editor’s Note: This photo was one of our very first feature photos. Wow! Back then, we used to post one picture a month, but now with the invention of social media, everyone can share their own images easily. We’ve saved a few of our favorites for posterity. Here’s one. Learn more about our original film photographs.

This picture is unique because it captures the stunning colors of a rainbow on an old film camera. These days, digital cameras can do a much better job, but often filters are used to make the colors unrealistically dramatic. I think this photo does a much better job of capturing the reality of the moment.
