Feel free to post your rainbow shots here, would love to see them...
Right now we have had an abundance of rainbows but I have missed the most beautiful one last night with the double rainbow, go figure out of all times I did not have my camera and usually one is by my side, just for a 10 minute errand, I missed one LOL!
But I was able to get into this one, straight from the card, no editing
My ISO was 200, F11 and i had to put it on manual mode and manual focus..this shot I used... Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 720
Shutter: 1/60.
Is there some other settings I need to be aware of that I am not getting yet?

Sorry, not much advice except to try and always have a camera with you ... :-)
FWIW the "best" double-rainbow I've seen was one tiem driving down I-5 near Portland, when I didn't have a camera ... :-( |

My main pieces of advice:
White balance is really important for bringing out the color spectrum
Expose to the + side. 1 or maybe 2 stops. These scenes are often dark, so higher exposure helps a lot. |

I find a polarizing filter helps.
We don't get many rainbows around here for some reason.
Here are a few on my Flickr page if you want to have a look.

A couple of mine, using the techniques I posted from my phone earlier.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/giantmike13/6071289301 - But so are close ups!

There's this one from me. I didn't do much of anything to it except be in the right spot at the right time.
