Weather the Storm: I convinced my friend to do sunrise and then to also stay through the rain. When we turned around, everyone else had left and we had this view to ourselves.

[Bleepin'] killer, Vertical.

And ayup. Being there --whether you hung on in there from a time earlier on, or whether you preplanned your arrival just right-- for conditions to become [bleepin'] killer is 99.9% of that which makes the ayuptitude right.

That's a great image. I've never seen a landscape with a rainbow that covered more than 180 deg., and a double bow to boot. Serendipity and fanciful to have the opportunity like this. And it's one thing to happen upon this rainbow and another thing to get it in the camera. Good job, Good show.

All this aside, rainbows are very technical things. If you were to draw a line from your eyeball to the center of that rainbow, the first inner bow would be exactly 43 degrees from that line for every rainbow, that's why they always appear the same size no matter how near or far you think they are.
