Sunset Storm

by Kevin McNeal

This was taken at Steptoe Butte in the Palouse. We had a blast shooting this sunset storm which I have never in my life witnessed something like this but wow was it something else to see. We got some great weather over the trip which made for some amazing scenery in the Palouse. This is the storm just before the storm hit us. Soon after this image we got hit with the rain at the top of the hill.
Equipment: Canon 5D MK 2 Canon 70-200L f4

Great photo from an excellent vantage point; I have never seen the skies opening up for a downpour over such a huge area. Super!
