Thunderstorm

White Sands Photography, captured not as as originally intended on a sunny day that turned into a sandstorm with heavy rains and lightning, inside which I found myself and spend more then two hours to get out of. Was huge mistake to not checking a weather alerts before going to sand dunes. Which I have seen after, weather alerts in the area, strong west wind advisory. Winds 30 to 40mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected. When I got out of there I was very wet and tired, I had sand everywhere you could imagine. Even my camera stopped working. But before getting out of the storm, I managed to take some beautiful photos. In the same day i got a chance to photograph a beautiful sunrise and then sunny day, sand storm with rains and black sky, afterwards sky with rainbow and on the end epic sunset.

Artem, that looks intense....I like being in storms like that....where is this at?

White Sands in New Mexico

This image almost makes damaging the camera worth doing.
