Rainbow and lightning both together in the same image is pretty rare in my opinion, I only have a couple good ones with both. This is one of them. That day was very memorable.. It's burned into my mind and was pretty amazing to see it in person, but still pretty amazing to see it at all just in general regardless. :)
I'm grateful to be able to share my artwork with so many new people! Have a great day out there in steemit land!
PS If you follow me, I'll follow you back! ._.
wow, I would like to know more about how that shot came about! awsm. Is that Devil's Tower (or something similar, I forgot).

Wasn't able to respond yesterday cause of broadcast error stuff, but I'm trying again today.. Hopefully it works.
Sure. I'll try to sum it up in as few words as possible.
Me and my father are photographers in Sedona Arizona, the mountain is called "Cathedral Rock".
During the monsoon season me and my father are usually pretty active, or we used to be much more.
But.. That was one day where my aunt was visiting and she was along for the ride and we saw the storm coming in on the radar so we went out and.. I set up the camera and started recording and.. Not too long after got this one and a number of other really good ones.
In fact.. I definitely got one better than this one, which his my pride and joy.. And I have it all on video as well, which was put into a short film documentary that did really well at the local film festival. So that's the story in summary. :)
PS.. I'm not sure what awsm means?
PSPS.. Since I shared it with a commenter below, I figure I'd share it with you and your thoughtful response as well.. Here's one of the other shots I got that day, this one is my favorite. :)

Shame its not abit brighter and abit less blurry as I think it would look even more incredible, still amazing how you captured that moment totally upvoted.

Ah. I guess.. Yeah.. I mean some of the blurriness might be rain that you're seeing, but.. it was video. And so the single stills pulled from it aren't as high quality as say a still from a regular DSLR.
I have a couple other shots from the same day, one of them is quite a bit better.. Lemme see if I can pull up a link for that one for you..
It's still from the same video camera, but this was earlier and the light was quite a bit brighter and the bolts/rainbows are much more impressive. BTW Thanks for the upvote and the comment. :) And yes.. It was pretty amazing to capture such!

Oh wait, 'nevermind. I just saw on a reply above that they are stills from video. That's the smart way to do it. lol

Lol. For the most part it is a lot easier in some ways.. However.. Before the video camera I used to use a "Lightning trigger" which is a sensor that hooks up to your camera and takes pictures automatically when lightning strikes.. So really.. The hard part is being there at the right time, once you get there.. You just have to set up in the right place and hope it gives you a good show. :)
