This one has been selected for the Super Master Photographer Hall of Fame. I'd like to thank thepoetisin and Ginger for a great testimonial she wrote this morning to acknowledge work of excellence achieved...
A pano of 2 portrait formats - about 20mp in total - taken on Saturday evening a couple of minutes from where I live. While searching for a great landscape in beautiful low light conditions it started to rain very softly on the other side. All of a sudden this beautiful bright bow appeared as well. I realised that the composition would be really on the tight side when I tried to capture the inner bow in a single frame from where I was located at the time being. With the ultra-wide Tokina 12-24 I actually did, but I felt a phenomena like this just deserves a little bit of extra work. So I turned my camera 90° in portrait mode on an already defect tripod-head and carefully - however unprepaired - tried to make a 2-shot panorama of it. Hopefully you like the instant decisions I had to make.
Tech info: f/13, 0.05 sec (1/20), ISO 100, 12 mm
Apart from the manual stitching process in Photoshop, I used fairly standard processing techniques in order to get the desired result: 2x a Levels adjustment layer to start with, custom Curves for local contrast enhancements and a masked-out Selective Color layer to reveal some more colour from the bows.
