摄影师捕捉到飞机的彩虹轨迹

Michael Marston began photographing and taking videos of airplanes three years ago, and as he started learning how atmospheric conditions affected his photos, he made a colorful discovery.

迈克尔·马斯顿(Michael Marston)三年前开始拍摄飞机的视频，当他开始了解大气条件如何影响他的照片时，他有了一个丰富多彩的发现。

He found that recording the airplanes as they emitted contrails while lined up with the sun at a certain angle generated a rainbow trail behind the plane.

他发现，当飞机与太阳成一定角度排成一行时，记录下飞机发出的尾迹会在飞机后面形成一道彩虹轨迹。

The spectacular imagery is created when the sunlight hits the ice crystals formed in the contrails, which form from cold air condensing around particles from the plane's exhaust.

当阳光照射到飞机尾迹中形成的冰晶上时，这一壮观的景象就产生了。这些冰晶是由飞机尾气中的微粒周围凝结的冷空气形成的。

Marston is an Australian photographer based in Brisbane. He started out taking photos of planes because his partner, Tracy, was a Quantas flight attendant.

马斯顿是澳大利亚布里斯班的一名摄影师。他开始给飞机拍照，是因为他的伴侣特雷西(Tracy)是Quantas的空乘人员。

As he has shared his rainbow trail photos on social media over the past few months, his work has gained popularity and has been featured across the internet.

在过去的几个月里，他在社交媒体上分享了彩虹之路的照片，他的作品也因此大受欢迎，并在互联网上广为流传。

He has also posted the raw files of the images and videos on his social media pages to disprove the naysayers who say the photographs may be doctored.

他还在自己的社交媒体页面上发布了这些照片和视频的原始文件，以反驳那些认为这些照片可能被篡改的反对者。

"It's a bit like fishing," Marston told CNN. "I enjoy the thrill of catching something — and also have the agony of going out and catching nothing. It can be rewarding and at the same time absolutely frustrating."

“这有点像钓鱼，”马斯顿告诉CNN。“我享受着捕捉到一些东西的刺激，同时也享受着出去什么也没有捕捉到的痛苦。这可能是有益的，但同时也绝对令人沮丧。”

Marston has even managed to capture these rainbow trails from airplanes at all sorts of different angles, like in the photo above. You can see in this video how quickly the beautiful sight can come and go.

马斯顿甚至成功地从各种不同的角度从飞机上捕捉到了这些彩虹轨迹，就像上面的照片一样。在这段视频中，你可以看到美丽的景色来来去去的速度有多快。

"I do enjoy looking up and seeing something different," he told CNN. "And seeing something that you don't see every day."

他告诉CNN:“我很喜欢抬头看一些不同的东西。”“看到一些你不是每天都能看到的东西。”
