RAINBOW
The closer you get . . . the more you see the hand of God.
If you don't own a camera with a macro mode or lens, then borrow a friend's Canon, Nikon, etc., and go outside. Nature is the drop in the bucket of God's perfect handiwork on earth. The closer you get inside flowers the more detail will be exposed. You will see hues that He puts together to create something colorfully in sync and burst forth the spectrum of the rainbow.
Thus we get to the topic of this blog . . . rainbows.
Think about it. Rainbows are light shot through drops of water that act like tiny prisms which refract that light into bands of color.
Therefore since God is light, then, He is all the colors of the rainbow. Do you see black or white?
Think about that for a moment.
Have you thought about it? Good. You are beginning to see the light!
Think about the rainbows you have observed in your lifetime. Did you know that you have to be at the right place at the right time to see one? If you look up the word 'rainbow' in Wikipedia you will read about why that statement is true. You will read that the colors in a rainbow go from red to violet. Here's the sequence: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Rainbows can be caused not only by a rain shower but also by other forms of water including mist, spray, and dew. You've all seen a small rainbow while jumping through the sprinkler's mist on a hot summer's day, right? Fun, huh? That should be a requirement - to jump through some rainbows this summer. What do you think?
To be specific about how a rainbow is formed, Wikipedia explains that “the light is first refracted entering the surface of the raindrop, reflected off the back of the drop, and again refracted as it leaves the drop. The amount by which light is refracted depends upon its wavelength, and hence its colour.”
Did you know that there are also moonbows? Again Wikipedia explains: “Moonbows, a lunar rainbow or nighttime rainbow, can be seen on strongly moonlit nights. As human visual perception for colour is poor in low light, moonbows are often perceived to be white.” The human eye may see only white but the truth behind the white is the colors of red through violet.
If you would like to take a picture of a rainbow, then you would need a lens with a focal length of 19 mm or less. A wide-angle lens would be required. Powerful software for stitching several images into a panorama would be helpful.
You don't want to? Okay. But I will gently urge you, the next time you see a rainbow, to think about yourself and how you can shine your light on others. Remember you are red to violet . . . not black or white.
