Was watching the radar and feeling bummed that Tucson, 130 miles away, was getting the storms, but then the little puffy cloud-that-could lit up red (rain core) on the radar. I grabbed my gear and drove 5 minutes to my favorite spot where I hung out for 4 hours and got two nice shots.

Any day at Grand Canyon is a good day, but I was hoping for some banger lightning shots. Got a couple weak bolts not worth developing (and accidentally deleted one while offloading the cards, duh). That was Thursday. Yesterday had one front come through that was all rain.
The best shot of the trip was this shelf cloud near Valle, AZ on the way in. I seriously should've stop and set up in it for a while!
This is a 12-image stitch, cropped to a 1x3 ratio.

Hey Tucson, I've got a photo show up at Kirk-Bear Canyon Library in Tucson through August. Storm and landscape photos.
(I'll be AFK for a week, so sorry if I'm mostly not able to reply.)

It was a magical time sitting on a bench in the middle of the desert at night watching the lightning go crazy behind the mountains.

Drove through a crazy dust storm yesterday evening and set up to capture some lightning photos with this old Saguaro. The wind was intense you can see the saguaro being blown around even. This bolt is a bit obscured, but the sky color was INSANE!

Mikor máskor?
Nyilván, mikor kirándulni indulunk másnap...De, ennek ellenére szeretem ezt az időt. :)

The other nice bolt I caught a couple days ago, right near the new #BorderWall in San Rafael Valley, Arizona.
Weird. I'm noticing in this pic and the OP lightning shot that there are these blobs of purplish color in the shot. That isn't there in Lightroom or in Mac Preview, so it must be something messed up in Mastodon's compression algorithm.

On my #BorderWall photo trip in the San Rafael valley two days ago, I got a couple bonus lightning bolt shots. This is the best of them.

Interesting, HurricaneTrack is in NYC. (not chasing hurricanes, chasing snow, lol)

For anyone in the Bay Area, especially the East Bay and especially anyone who goes to climbing gyms, I'll have a photo show at Berkeley Iron Works through January. I'll be hanging it on the evening of the 2nd or morning of the 3rd. Alas, you have to be a gym member or buy a day pass.
It's all lightning/storm photos, like the one in November at the Ajo Library, but with a bunch of new shots, including Arches, Mono Lake (pictured), Colorado National Monument and a couple from the big storm that zapped San Diego in October of 2022.

Chaco Canyon, Pueblo Bonito ruins. It's hard to see in this small photo, but it was pouring rain and the sky is filled with streaking droplets that look more like falling snowflakes or hail. I was holding an umbrella with one hand, shooting with the other, trying to keep the umbrella from blowing away with another, and wiping drops off of the lens. Having four arms really helps when photographing in storms. (I keep the two extra ones hidden by my side under bulky clothing most of the time so as to not freak people out.)
Anyway, re-edited this one and I'm debating whether to offer it for sale as a print. Thing is, it's a cool photo, but unless you're familiar with Chaco Canyon, it's not immediately obvious that the rainbow lands on the ruins and not just some random rocks. I'm going to have to have a large trial print made to see how the raindrops look. They might look cool or messy. I really can't tell on my screen.

Went on a storm chase north from Tucson yesterday. A very big cell was moving directly toward Picacho Peak. Calculating our respective speeds, I figured I had enough time to intercept it when it crossed the peak/I-10 area. I was right and was in a perfect position, with a clear view of the peak and sun breaks lighting up the foreground.
By the time the storm moved into the frame, though, there was a wall of water between me and the peak. A minute after this shot, it hit me.
The original is wider and mostly gray blur. I cranked up some of the editing tools in Lightroom to make the bolts pop a bit more and cropped it way in just to have something to show for the day. Win some lose some. This is possibly the last monsoon-season chase opportunity of the season, but there is lightning here even in the winter sometimes.

Rain Delay? Nope 🌧️ | 10 Observatories in 10 Weeks – Week 3
🌩️ Week 3 didn’t just test the schedule — it tried to wipe it off the map.
Instead of slowing down, we tripled up and hit Observatory 3,4 and 5 of the 10 Observatories in 10 Weeks challenge… during sideways rain, hail, and winds that could relocate a roof without permission.
This week featured:
Roll-off roof frames fighting for their lives
Hail bouncing off steel like popcorn in a microwave
Mud trying to claim my boots permanently
And zero chance of waiting for “better weather”If you enjoy chaotic commitment, astronomy builds in hostile environments, or watching projects happen purely out of spite toward the sky — you're in the right place.
