| Wow, this is an amazing image in so many ways, the completeness of the rainbow itself, the light and color of the rest of the scene, the coverage of your captures and your skillful image stitching. I had never seen a rainbow so impressive but thanks to this image I now feel I've had that opportunity. |

| OMG WOW ok to be honest I was looking at the other one you had and decided to comment on that one before looking at this one but this one is truly unique, awesome capture. The only thing I could pick on is the slightly tilted horizon lol but meh its overshadowed by the beauty of the rest of the photo. Excellent capture! |

| This is a lovely rainbow shot - I am always disappointed in mine, as the camera just doesn't seem to capture the richness and transparency of the bands of color, and there is generally a too-warm look, which muddies the color, but this one is very close to reality. I can't wait for 3D to hit digital photography - it will revolutionize many things, rainbows being one to get a great boost, and probably lightning too; I only have a basic photoshop and wonder where the pano tools come in - well done with the pix, though! |

Forget the rainbow, did you get the pot of gold??...:)
Hey I agree this is very cool indeed; just glad we get to see it.
RE: losing your mind, I am new but as time goes on, check my gallery for losing your mind, when I shoot my brain can't remember any of those amazing ideas and notes I took while at home, so I could do anything!!..:) |

| An amazing photo and a case of being in exactly the right spot at the right time. The symetry of this photo work really well. The reflections off the wet road are also good and add to the photo. A great capture |

I had 3 rows of shots and 5 columns of shots, 15 shots total. It really isn't too hard once you understand the pano software. |

I have shot rainbows with the S 3 with APC sensor, and it takes my 15mm fisheye to get the whole thing like this.
I am glad that you are enjoying your new place. |
It wasn't NEARLY wide enough. It took 15 pictures to cover the whole rainbow :-D |

I would not have thought this to be a pano unless you mentioned it, cool stuff. |
Absolutely. I didn't do any spot editing at all. I just did a couple of overall lighting adjustments. That is what the sky looked like. :-D |

| whoa! Awesome! And I know what you mean about going nuts when something this amazing is happening in front of you.. I had an adventure with a glass and fire recently because of that. |

| I've never seen anything like this. You did well to capture 15 images of this and have it turn out so well. Very cool shot! |

| Just incredible. I really thought the road was a lake at first. Wonderful reflection. It just doesn't get any better than catching a rainbow. And, the light is amazing. |

The road really does look like a river, the river that flows into the beauty of the rainbow.
Very happy that you are loving the new location. Have fun exploring. Whenever my husband and I move we have a rule that when we can get to a destination three times without getting lost then it is time to explore a new way to get there. It's fun and exciting. |

OMG .. THIS IS INSANE .. talk about a stunning scene and werent you in exactly the right place .. eventually .. !!
the road looks nearly like a river .. WOW .. !!
and the lighting .. just beautiful .. :)
ps .. i notice that you took it at 1/50th sec at iso 100 .. with the 40D you can up the iso more & still retain a fair degree of sharpness .. then you can speed up the shutter so that you dont have to worry about any camera shake .. well thats in situations where you dont have time to set the tripod up .. just a thought .
i actually took shots of katee on the firetrail yesterday and it was really overcast, so not much light .. i dont usually have the iso any higher than about 200 but to get the light in i went up to 800 .. i was shooting her moving so i was on 1/640th sec .. so it was pretty fast .. also i had the aperture at f5 .. using the 10-22 it only opens to f4.5 anyway .. but when looking at the images on the computer later i was surprised that the grain wasnt more pronounced .. i'll be putting katee in our june side in a while .. so you can see wot i'm talking about .. i'll put an unprocessed one in so you can see, coz after processing you wouldnt get much of an idea .. :)
