Last night we had a few storms in Papillion. After the first storm everything turned orange and we had this full rainbow behind my house. I started noticing that the storm was still going behind the rainbow. I grabbed my camera and started shooting away. I was able to pull the image below off holding the camera and eye balling when the lighting was hitting.

After I took that shot I went to the front of my house to see an amazing sunset. There was two problems. The first was that there was not a good vantage point for a landscape at my current position. The second was that we had lost the power in the neighborhood and I could not get my car out of the garage. Looking down the street I noticed my buddy had his sons car out in the road. So me, him and another friend grabbed our cameras and took of to Walnut Creek Recreational area where I had just enough time to nab the middle shot.

After the sun went down we stuck around taking lighting shots in the dark, see the last photo. It was pretty impresive. The bummer was when we got home we still had no power so we were unable to work on our photos until the next day. Hope you enjoy the shots as much as I did taken them.

  1. All are really fine shots as usual Mike, but the rainbow is a once in a life-time capture - well done!
