A tale of two images. One photo with two results
Just been playing around with one of my lightning shots, and it's a great example of two fairly different images from the same photo (if that makes sense).
Here is the original:
Then I took it into Photoshop, rotated the image until it was mostly level (the camera was not level when I took the shot).
I then let Photoshop automatically adjust the contrast, which darkened the sky and brought more colour out in the lights (the original was a 10 second exposure, so it looks lighter than the actual sky was)
Finally I cropped the image differently, removing the ugly buildings at the front and keeping just a sliver of lights from the horizon (as well as the clocktower which looks great).
Which gives me:
I really like the second version, same photo with differenct presentation. You can click on both images to see larger versions in my gallery.
