Photographs of Various Storms in Utah’s West Desert

This post is a collection of the various thunderstorms I have photographed in Utah’s West Desert.  I make it a point to get out and photograph the Onaqui Herd of wild horses whenever I can, especially if there is a chance of thunderstorms.  It has been rare to get great lightning, but the sunsets are absolutely spectacular even if the lightning is a rarity.  The photographs that are long (panoramic) were taken by stitching between 10 and 15 separate, overlapped images into one image.  The file sizes are enormous, as I stitch RAW files from my Nikon D810.  For example, the panoramic of the double rainbow is 21,700 X 7200 pixels!  All files are significantly downsized (1800 X 1800 pixels, at 72 dpi) for posting.  I have printed these panoramas 24″ X 72″ and you can’s spot any pixels at all.
