WOW - this is an awesome image - May I be hit with the bolt for asking but - Is this an actual capture of lightning or is this an overlayed effect? I only ask because I have a photoshop effect that makes lightning that looks very much like this bolt.Real or CGI - It's a great image :-)
good work #1383517

Thanks everyone for your kind comments! Hate to ruin it for anyone, but this is the result of a lot of Photoshop work. Shot was initially taken from a Highway rest stop, I rotated it, enlarged the canvas, added the Flaming Pear Flood filter, Xero's Porcelain filter, and finally added the lightning filter from AlienSkin Xenoflex 2 pack. Here is the original. #1383731Christopher C. Davis May 23, 2005
