From: Ted Nolan <tednolan> on 30 Jun 2010 03:08 I've noticed that whenever I take a picture of a rainbow, it looks much less impressive than it did to my naked eye. For instance this one from yesterday is ok: http://www.tednolan.net/misc/p1120927.jpg but looked much better in real life. Any tips for punching rainbows up in GIMP?
