Sometimes it is just the camera you have with you.
I was going to friends for monthly poker night about 30 minutes before sunset and it had been storming for most the afternoon. It was still raining quite a bit, however, the sun dropped below the clouds and I pulled over in Colleyville Texas by the railroad. I caught the rainbow with the old red caboose and water tower. I wish I had my D5200 but the iphone pano did an ok job and without it, would have had to rely only on memory.
Nice catch Larry. Smartphones do definitely eliminate the "you should see what I saw" factor.

Very cool!
Thanks, just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I like the little bit of red that the caboose adds.
Larry, using your Cell Phone when that's all you have is fine. I bought my Samsung Galaxy S4 two day before I took these. I wasn't sure how to do it, but took a chance. The camera in this phone is amazing. I have fairly new Panasonic Lumix FZ200, but is was snug at home. I bought a Gorilla tripod and a special attachment to attach the cell phone. So if I have time I can use it attached to the rearview mirror, a fence or anything handy.
BTW your shot is very nice, maybe a bit of tweaking in PS would bring out the colours and the drama a bit more.
Thanks for showing it.
