Tucson, Arizona-based photography enthusiast Greg McCown recently managed to capture a shot of a lifetime. While shooting landscapes near the small town of Marana, Arizona, McCown snapped this beautiful photo showing both a lightning bolt and a rainbow in the sky.

"After years of trying I finally got my lightning and rainbow picture," McCown writes.

Patience can lead to great things in photography. For photographer Johan Georget, it's what allowed him to capture this shot-of-a-lifetime of a rhinoceros in Africa.

A powerful storm rumbled by Simla, Colorado, last week, and at the scene was professional storm-chasing photographer Kelly DeLay, who captured this "shot of a lifetime" showing a massive supercell storm cloud extending twin tornados to the ground below.
