Wow...nice shot Ralph. A double caught with your phone is more than luck.

Wow...nice shot Ralph. A double caught with your phone is more than luck.

I'm not sure it will have been a double Glenn, any rainbow i've ever caught with my phone comes out as a double Fabulous shot I must say

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Wow - iPhone shot of the year right there Ralph

The iPhone 5 has a pano mode. You set that mode, tap the start button and pan the camera. Finally tap the button again to stop. The camera stitches things together to create the pano image.

I made about a dozen images in this way until I got one right. Most were ruined when I moved the camera up or down while panning. That caused either a break in the rainbow or a squashed look. This one was my best attempt.

I processed the image some in PhotoForge2 on my iPad. Processing included cropping and a slight saturation boost.

I'm going to visit my neighbors later today to see if they discovered a pot of gold somewhere in their house last night.
