Rainbows

Larry Berlin asks "Where are your rainbows with reference to infinity
in the scenes? Is it
possible to tell in any of them?"

For the scenes I described, the rainbows are in depth right where the
water droplets are.  This is nice, because if you have a spray of
water, you have drops usually throughout a range of depth.

I first had my attention drawn to atmospheric stereo by a comment in
one of the 1950s books that the air must be crystal clear.  So,
feeling challenged, I set out to do foggy scenes.  If the fog is in
puffs and patches, and is sufficiently obvious, it comes out all
right in stereo.
