Earlier this month I took a trip out to the Grand Canyon with the family. After two nights of failed sunsets, I was rewarded with a big lightning storm moving through. From the view point, I had almost 180 degrees of lightning strikes. It was a new moon, so the canyon was completely black except for the brief instants when lightning would illuminate the features. I struggled to find the right settings and was getting nervous as the storm came closer, but I think this really captures the feeling of being there.
Comments and critique welcome!
B&W was exactly the right choice here. I've been there under similar conditions sans camera
As an Arizonan, ever so often I'll wake up and think, "Hell, I've got to go see the Canyon." Doesn't matter how many times I've been there or how many different places I've viewed it from - never the same. I always think "How small I am, but oh, so grateful to be a part of this awesome and deadly earth."
Superb photo and treatment.

Do try to go at times hoping to miss the hordes that have their pix snapped standing in front of the abyss. Like they forget to look over and worship the awe.
