Congratulations to Mark Metternich for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 12 votes - View Previous Winners

Nearly everyone got absurd light this year in the great southwest during monsoon season. After everyone was set up here, I took a quick handheld between two of my client's tripod legs cramped together (they invited me to). I bracketed 3 shots and was off helping others.

This is a single raw file representing the absolutely insane display of red/pink and a rainbow over the Grand Canyon pretty well. It is not adjusted much more than my custom Presets in Lightroom with a fine-tuned tweak or liberty here and there.

Thank you for looking and I wish you and yours the best!

I wish you a great holiday season and great Light to you!

I don't remember giving you permission. Probably distracted - by the insane light you made me witness! Great shot Mark - although it looks very similar to one I have.....hmmmmm

Yes that's the spot, Mark. Nice imaging. During August (and maybe more) this phenomenon takes place every few days, it seems. For the past two years I only had a day or two to hang around the north rim and got these fabulous conditions as well. We may not be so lucky next time.

Thank you, Jeffrey, for the feedback.

I have spent more days than I can count here during Aug and Sept over 25 years, and I would disagree completely that this happens every few days. But yes, if you chase the right storms here you can get great payoffs from time to time in Aug-Oct...

Nice shot Mark, couldn't have lined that rainbow up any better man

Always nice when Mother Nature cooperates.

How cool is THAT! Very nice shot and I find your processing very appealing.
Feel free to send me those LR presets anytime.

Nice!
