Passing thunderstorms along the North Rim of The Grand Canyon have big potential for producing memorable shots. Just pick a spot or two with great vantage points and allow the photos to develop in front of you. Last week I camped along the eastern side of the North Rim and just watched all day long, storms and clouds form and pass. Watch for the filtered sunlight and how it transforms the landscape below. And I used my zoom lens on a tripod to get in tighter.
Stunning
Thanks katelon!
Most beautiful, I always love the drama in your images, the rainbow pic is my favorite.
Thanks Cornelia. I look for the dramatic and rainbows!
Pure magic!
Thank you Maria!
My pleasure 🙂
I hope you entered some of these in that contest weather.com was running for weather photos!
Thanks Jeanne. I’ll check out that contest!
Stunning photos!
Thank You!
I am amazed by all the green in the third-to-last image! I have never seen that in all the years we lived in AZ. Gorgeous series!

Thanks Lindy Yes, all the rain we have had this spring and now has caused to desert to turn green!
The 11th image holds my attention. It looks like a movie where the camera is going to zoom in really fast on a person standing at the edge, screaming to the world. It radiates and demands focus.
Beautiful light in these! And the rainbow. Wow!!
Thanks Laura. The conditions were ripe for a rainbow!
You’re welcome. Perfect timing!
I just revisited this stunning set. Each image is uniquely beautiful, Michael. You told a story, captured amazing light and even gave us a peek at your set-up. Great post.
Thanks Jane for the nice comment! I’m headed back to the Grand Canyon today for more!
I almost missed this one. The lighting, Wow!! Magnificent shots, like the first and fourth ones especially.
Thanks Amy!
