Once a month when the moon is full, the light reflected off of it catches the mist rising from Cumberland falls and creates a "moonbow." The spectrum of light appears as a white curved beam of light to human eyes. To a camera exposed for over 30 seconds, it looks like a normal rainbow. We went out to see the moonbow three nights in a row. I took the shot above on the first night. I wanted to take a picture in black and white to see if the moonbow would appear as it does to human eyes, but clouds prevented us from seeing it the next two nights. I still got some cool monochrome exposures.
The last photo is actually four photos merged together into one, creating the panoramic effect of a much wider angle lens.
