I took this image before stitching together images to create panoramas was ‘click a button’ easy. In those days getting a full rainbow in a single image required wide angle lenses. A 21mm lens (on a 35mm film camera or equivalent digital camera) would capture the whole of a single rainbow. This was taken with a 14mm lens to try and get as much of the double as possible (there has been some cropping of the image on the edges). A wider lens tends to have a strong fisheye effect or at least significant distortion along the edges. In this case, the left end of the double is hidden by trees and the right end is barely visible due to brightness of the sky.

I took this image from the parking lot of an apartment building in Olympia, Washington, across a vacant lot that was going to be part of the complex (or at least, that was the plan).
