I feel so bad for people shooting sunsets...they are missing out on spectacular views BEHIND THEM.

Nice shot Seb. How wide a lens is that?

[Axle]

Beautiful shot Sebastian!

[Sebastian]

Thanks guys.

It was the 17-40, 17 was not wide enough though, wish I could have gotten the whole rainbow into the frame, as well as the second rainbow above it. You can faintly see it in the corner, I got part of it, but it wasn't nearly as vibrant as the first.

Just kidding..... Nice capture.

Also, thanks for the comments in Photo Critique. I've actually worked a number of different versions of that concept and am still not happy with the results. I'll respond their later.

BR,
Tim

My back was against the wall, literally.

It wouldn't help if you could step back. The rainbow would just follow you because the location of the arc is determine by a constant angle between you and the sun (looking away that is).

Cheers,
Tim

wow...was that last night, Sebastian? We had tornado warnings around here with those storms.

17 was not wide enough

Would be on a film camera! Nice shot.

Kelly,

Yup, last night. We had tornado warning as well. Come to think of it, most of this area had tornado warnings. Spring in Illinois starts with the first tornado warning...

Steve,

Shut up. ;)

Tim,

Didn't know that, sorry to dilute the joke.

Sebastian,

Great shot, the rainbow frames the picture beautifully.

Nice shot.

Saw that one. We were in the Chicago area all this week. I commented to the girls how odd it was to see the whole thing, we usually can only see one end of it.

And Another View stole my jab - it would have all fit with a film camera. :-O

Great shot anyway!
