How I Got This Shot: While I was heading back from shooting clouds at Eagle Fork Overlook I noticed the rainbow off to my left. As soon as I arrived here I setup my tripod. Initially I had on my 17mm lens and shot a few horizontal frames, but I decided I needed to isolate the rainbow more. I switched lenses, putting on the 70-200mm. I shot for 11 minutes and this was the last frame. I liked the way the clouds and mist looked best in this frame.
