Rocky Mountain Double Rainbow
The third thunderstorm of the afternoon hit just as we had finished grilling burgers. We dashed into the camper to finish eating dinner, but then one of my kids uttered that wonderful phrase "Hey look, a rainbow!"
Not just any rainbow, it was a complete horizon-to-horizon double rainbow, and the brightest one I've ever seen in my life. I snapped a bunch of frames, and none of them really do justice to what we saw that evening. The upper arch was fading a bit by the time I shot this 3-frame pano, but you can still see it clearly on the left side. The lower one stayed clear and bright for quite a long time.
This was one of about 3 times during our trip that I wished for a lens wider than my 18-55 zoom. I'll be saving my pennies for a while before buying any more lenses though.
Stitched in Hugin, post-proc in GIMP.
