well....... try to meter on the rainbow or the part of the sky nearest to the rainbow so to get a proper exposure of the rainbow.
Usually just do exposure bracketing and combine the shots.
and of coz, that bit of luck

hmmm... okie.. lets hope there are more rainbows for me to try my hands on this weekend ^_^ thanks for the help!~
i think the photos are quite nice!!! especially with a couple just at the end of the rainbow.. nice!~~ mind if you share with me what equipment you used and the settings?
is there a polarising filter for nikon f75?
i myself am using c5050, but a friend who owns a f75 is also wanna take pics of rainbow...
was using canon pro90is...
settings. hmm. aperture 8(widest i have). Just focused on the rainbow, which was quite hard at times.... it blends in with the clouds. argh. cant remember if my circ pol was on yet....
but be careful not to eliminate the rainbow itself, cos the colors of the rainbow are basically "polarised" light themselves.
It will also help to underexpose the shot slightly to bring out the colors and contrast.
As for focusing, there's probably no need to focus as the "subject" will be at infinity anyway, or you may choose to focus on a nearer subject and use a smaller aperture to get greater DOF.
caveat: i have never personally shot a magnificient rainbow, but have read and analysed enough to be able to offer "theory" ;p
i got an site for 'looking out for rainbow' kind of thing ... i will post tat link when i go back home ...
Underexposing a little will help increase the visibility of the rainbow. If a subject in the foreground is present, for example, people, I will meter the sky, and use a fill flash ( just switch on your flash ). My 2 cents.
Have seen two in the past month, but unfortunately, had access to a cam in only 1 of the situation
As many of have said, a polariser does help, although it can eliminate it totally too ...
..NuTs..

if i am not mistaken, the F75 is a film SLR camera, if so the mouting of the filter depends on the lenses and not on the camer itself. for true SLR, in general there will always be a thread size for it to mount the filter. =p
