Photographer Captures Rare Yosemite Falls Rainbow Phenomenon

In 2017, Utah-based landscape photographer Greg Harlow captured a rare and beautiful phenomenon in Yosemite National Park. Standing at Glacier Point, he was able to capture Yosemite Falls “turning into” a rainbow: a phenomenon that only happens at certain times of year and under certain circumstances.

Harlow captured real-time video, time-lapse, and photographs of the event from his vantage point using a 200mm lens. You can see the real-time footage above, and the time-lapse footage below:

Finally, here is a full-frame still photo from the same shoot:

As stunning as this footage and photo are, it’s far from Harlow’s only beautiful landscape image. To see more of his work, head over to his website or give him a follow on Instagram.
