EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty and power of nature as mass lightning bolts illuminate the night skies above Daggett airport. Taken during a monsoon storm passing over the high deserts, this image showcases the raw energy and electricity that fills the air during such intense weather phenomena. Photographer Gene Blevins skillfully employed long exposure techniques to create a mesmerizing visual effect, allowing us to witness multiple lightning strikes in one frame. The dark stormy sky serves as a dramatic backdrop for these dazzling bolts of light, creating an ominous yet picturesque scene. The absence of people in this photograph emphasizes the grandeur and magnitude of nature's forces at play. With no human presence to distract from its natural splendor, we are left in awe of the sheer power exhibited by these electrifying storms. The composition also highlights the vastness of our surroundings, with the horizon line stretching out into infinity. The heavy clouds add depth and texture to the image while hinting at more impending weather turmoil. In this extraordinary shot captured by Gene Blevins, we are reminded of both nature's dangerous side and its inherent beauty. It is through images like these that we gain a deeper appreciation for our planet's ability to produce breathtaking displays that leave us humbled and amazed.
