So this happened! I'm on my way home and notice this rainbow forming. Not in a great location [in town] I took off to some fields nearby. Racing to a suitable spot and scrambling to my camera set up with CPL on the way. I when I got to a good spot I photographed an almost perfect full double rainbow with more golden colours but the clouds were moving fast and the rainbow started to fade. So I jumped back in the car and ripped down more gravel to find this spot. Frantically running around the car to grab my camera and race into the field, totally soaking my shoes in the process to get here just in time to capture this moment. A full rainbow with a hint of the second and full moon rising at sunset. Just needs a unicorn!
I agree with Steve, a great roll. That new camera is empowering you Scott.
(and no, I don't credit the camera for the images lately... just self actualization with the right tool)

Scott, is a CPL generally good or bad for shooting rainbows?
Thank you Kevin. I'd say rainbows and CPLs are made for each other. Really, once you shoot a rainbow using a CPL you'll probably never shoot one without.
thanks so much Scott. you live in a beautiful place. that much said, you have amazing instinct, hard work, and skill to capture what most of us would miss. superb shot.
I dont see rainbows often, but always wondered if CPL would filter out the refraction of light from the rainbow. thanks for the hint.
