How To Photography A Rainbow, Step-By-Step:

Unfortunately, due to the conditions that are needed for a rainbow to appear, you really do need to be in the right place at the right time (you might see a few more at this time of year though due to the rainy nature of April). Don't fancy waiting for one to appear in the sky above you? You'll also find them in bubbles and near other water sources such as fountains in town squares and around waterfalls.
Step 2: Get Your Positioning Right
If you do happen to stumble across one, position yourself so the rainbow can act as a frame for a building, interesting rock formation or whatever photogenic subject you may find.

Leading lines such as deep shadows and long roads will draw the eye into the picture as well as add interest to the shot.
