I recon that those of use with the uber-wide DZ lenses can
recreate this shot (either sunrise or sunset). The rainbow isn't
necessary as the discussion centers around the shadows. All it
requires is to take a photograph in the exact opposite direction
of the sun with something in the photograph that casts shadows.
It's also a possibility that this is a pano-stitch composite
which could skew the shadows if the photographer was really
slow.
Since living here in Iowa, I've seen three or four sunset
rainbows like this--especially with such a super-bright
inner-disk. They can be very fleeting because it requires that
the sun peak out under the cloud deck just a couple degrees
above the horizon. If the western sky is too clear, the clouds
in the picture become bright and the rainbow doesn't stand out.
I suppose that this *could* be a composite photograph where the
rainbow is a totally seperate picture, but to me the lighting
appears to match (to my eye) and if it was a composite, it would
have been done a lot better. The sun in the top of the
foreground tree is distracting and if done intentially is a very
clever touch by the photographer.
I'm not that clever.
