Right place, right time, wrong camera!

I was out last evening and upon exiting a store got surprised by the largest rainbow I had ever seen, in SoCal or anywhere else! A complete arc across the sky, full spectrum colors, and it lingered for quite awhile.

I only had an iPhone with me so I captured what I could. This first shot was digitally zoomed but doesn’t look too bad, and it retained the actual colors I was seeing:

Next I tried a Pano shot which managed to encompass the entire rainbow and then some, but at the expense of the colors for some reason. Even adding some artsy afterwards didn’t fully recover the hues:

But even so, I think you get the idea of how wonderful this unexpected experience was.
