Double Rainbows

Double Rainbows
Odd weather here in Champaign lately. This past weekend we saw a double rainbow looking out our backyard. The bottom rainbow was as complete as I’ve ever seen one. I used the widest lens I’ve got (17mm) and still couldn’t get it all in frame.

This, naturally, led to a series of rainbow pictures….

    • Thanks! I’ve never seen a complete rainbow, and then to see the double was quite surprising.

  3. Very nice. I agree it was a great opportunity. I wish I had more than my iPhone with me at the time:

    • Not too shabby a picture from the iPhone. Mine often surprises me. Sometimes good / cool but usually just terrible. We all know it couldn’t possibly be the photographer, right?
