Sun and Lightning 8-19-09.1(16)


Camera: Pentax K100D
Date 8/19/09 8:19 pm
Lens Name: Pentax-DA 18-55mm
FocalLength: 18mm
Shutter speed: 1.5 sec
Aperture: F3.5
ISO: 200

The building was removed with Corel Paint Shop Pro Ultimate, Photo X2.

I used a couple different tools in removing the building (which I thought was a distraction), and then used the clone tool to re-build the bridge that was behind the building.

Location: Clearwater, Florida
Hope you enjoy it.

I think I posted my first one in the wrong place. I'm new, I'll learn

This is a beautiful shot! The erasing of the building really draws the eye more to the lightning strike. Nice edit!

Great job! Although one more thing: you might want to shorten the reflections on the water too! *ghost lights*
