On my drive back to Truckee, California from Denver, Colorado a few days ago, I was treated to this beautiful sight. It was a looong drive and it was raining for most of it. As I was getting closer to the finish line, there was a break in the storm and I was saw this colorful scene that made me pull over and fire off a few photos. Shot near Mill City, in the north western area of Nevada.
Shot with a Canon R5 MarkII and a 24-105mm lens. It was a quick, handheld shot. The ISO was 200, the lens aperture was f/11, and the shutter speed was 1/250 of a second. A polarizing filter was used on the front of the lens. Polarizers can help bring out the color a bit more in rainbows, and can create a bit more contrast and depth in the clouds. I almost always carry a polarizing filter with me, even if I am going lightweight with one body and one lens.
Oh, and no road trip would be complete without a little "drama". Flat tire! Changed it and was back on the road in about 30 minutes.
Thank you for looking and I hope you all have a great and colorful day, with no flat tires!

You probably know by now that large fine art prints are always available of my images and can be shipped anywhere in the world. But did you know that phone cases are available as well? It's true! Many other photo products are also available... Here't the photo on my website: "Nevada Rainbow"
Stunning photographs. Awesome weather.
Thank you! And yes, it was indeed awesome once I got out of the rain...
What an awesome sight!!
Thank you for sharing the tip about the polarizers to help bring out the color in the rainbow, and to get more contrast and depth in the clouds! That is useful information to me and I definitely learned something new.
I appreciate your work and enjoy your posts👍!
Glad you like the photo! And the info. Have a great day.

Wow, this is truly a stunning portrait, a stunning view of a low arching rainbow across a vast meadow.
Glad you like that! It was quite the sight to see.
