Is there really any gold at the end of a rainbow? Beats me. That's not why we stopped to take this picture.
We were driving home from a shoot, taking a circuitous backroad through Tarlac, when we spotted an unusual sight: a prominent rainbow cast within an ominously dark sky laden with rain. It was an interesting lighting situation, but even that only made a great backdrop. We still needed a focal point. Then a farmer and his beast appeared from a nearby paddy. Serendipity. Click...click...click. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: When the sky above is mostly dark and the landscape is lit by a bright horizon behind you, slightly underexpose your shot by metering on the brightest portion of your composition. It's a tricky lighting situation that fools most in-camera meters.)
