This was shot with an S 007 through a window with a 24mm S lens.
This is the first time I’ve seen a full rainbow where the interior of the arc is a totally different brightness from the sky outside the rainbow arc.-

OK,
I returned to the scene using three new bits of technology.
!. An M10M which allows for very high ISO and high resolution.
2. Remote firing of the M10M via LeicaFOTOS, and allows a self portrait if you look very closely.
3. A 12mm lens. The shot is ISO 20,000, f4.0. 1/15 -

Excellent as usual.
Your YouTube videos were helpful. When I saw how high you were shooting in ISO I was surprised. Setting Auto ISO was the answer, and a good procedure.

The Pulitzer Art Museum in St. Louis has a Richard Serra: Torqued Spirals that allows the viewer to go inside the sculpture. There is not a perpendicular or uncurved surface. When looking up, the sky can look like the earth from space. This was shot with a 24mm S, on a S (007) processed in Silver Efx Pro.
