Bobby Beasley and his girlfriend Rach stayed in a 1984 Volkswagen T25 Campervan on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. They camped at Horgabost Campsite overlooking Luskentyre beach with white sand and turquoise waters. On their first morning a thick sea fret filled the area; as it lifted slightly the early sun from the mountains produced a ghost rainbow positioned over their van. Rach stood in her pyjamas while Beasley photographed the scene on an iPhone 11, applying only a 4:3 crop and focusing to avoid overexposing the sky. The mist lingered for the rest of the day.
Bobby Beasley was staying in his 1984 Volkswagen T25 Campervan with girlfriend Rach when he took this photo. The couple were on the Isle of Harris, in the Outer Hebrides. We've both always loved camping and getting out to remote spots, preferably on the coast, Beasley says. The west coast of Scotland is one of our favourite areas to explore.
On their first morning at Horgabost Campsite, with its views over Luskentyre beach and its Caribbean-style white sand and turquoise waters, they awoke to a thick sea fret. As it burned away and lifted a little, the early morning sun shone through from the mountains behind and caused this crazy-looking ghost rainbow, Beasley says. The pair didn't lose their chance at this shot, hence why Rach is standing in her pyjamas!
With that in mind, Beasley used the camera most immediately at hand: his iPhone 11. He applied no edits aside from cropping to a 4:3 ratio. I made sure when taking it that I'd put the focus on Rach and that the sky wasn't overexposed, he adds. I liked having my shadow in the shot, too. It makes for a nice triangular composition.
