How I Got This Shot: This was part of a panning time lapse we were doing of the view using the Syrp time lapse system. It was one of those days where we almost didn’t go because of all of the storms blowing through the area. When we arrived at the view it was raining but we decided to wait it out. When the rain ended we walked down to the view and decided on a time lapse of the clouds in the valley. We setup a 50 minute 60 degree panning time lapse during which time some more rain blew into the valley and then this rainbow formed. It was the most vibrant rainbow I have ever seen. You can watch it form on the time lapse here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adv8dYXg7Qo
