Valdez Bow
by Gary Minish
It had been raining for days and finally the sun came out. I was driving by the tide flats when it peaked through the clouds and lit up the grass and then it topped it off with a huge rainbow. Fortunately I had my boots on because I had to slog out through the wet grass and tide flat muck to get the right perspective for the rainbow. I wanted to frame the town of Valdez with the rainbow, which is what you see here. I didn't need a bunch of extra gray sky in the scene so I shot two horizontal frames and stitched them with AutoPanoGiga. In the version sized for my 4K monitor you can clearly see the buildings in the town and various seagulls in the sky. They don't show up as much in the tiny size allowed for this site.
Sony a6300, SE1670Z@24mm, ISO-100, f/8.0, 1/1250. 2 frames, hand held.
