There had been a storm earlier in the evening and by the time the sun was setting, it had mostly gone over. It created a beautifully large double rainbow that spanned a good part of the sky.

Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my backyard in Central Ohio after a good thunderstorm rolled through.Time
This was taken around sunset. There was enough of the sun left above the horizon after a storm to create not just a bright rainbow, but a double rainbow against deep gold clouds.Lighting
The lighting wasn't planned, this was more of a "see it, shoot it now" kind of photo.Equipment
I used a Nikon D90 with an 18-105 mm lens set at 18 mm.Inspiration
The rainbow itself is the inspiration. Rainbows are so lovely and just add to a scene. The fact this was at sunset where the sky was darker just made it that much better for me.Editing
This photo is actually a panoramic photo consisting of 3 individual shots. After that, it was a matter of adjusting colors, contrast, and exposure to get the right look.In my camera bag
Currently, I have a Canon Rebel T3 with an 18-55mm lens and a 75-300mm lens. Alongside these, I have various filters and lens accessories that I use to create my photos.Feedback
Use a tripod. I didn't and it was harder to piece the panorama together in editing. You can also get a better handle on exposure by using one. Also, don't be afraid to bump up the rainbow itself in editing. Contrast, brightening. Make it stand out.
