took out your dirty lens/sensor spots and gave the image some POP. enjoy.

Very nice PP! Any suggestions for some good tutorials?

Serious halo around her head, looks like from dodging. Otherwise, very nice.

It was a really cool storm! Here's two more.

Nice catches of the Lighting Strikes. Especially the first one.

Howdy ya'll! We had a cool lightning storm last night so I thought I would try to catch a few shots. Here's the very first frame and and I think it came out the best.

Anybody else attempt lightning shots?

Great shots, we had some similar storms a week or so in Grass Valley.
We're about two hours or so south of you in the Sierra foothills.
I tried to get a few shots, but they didn't turn out as well.

used the patch tool for those fun dirt spots. increased contrast and saturation using curves, levels and saturation/vibrance. burned some of the clouds to emphasize the lightning and edges of the menacing looking clouds. applied a little bit of sharpening and voila.

Canon 5D and 24-70mm
Shot in RAW, and processed with DPP (still in early stages of learning...if you'd like to play with this photo be my guest)

couldnt resist.

Here's my take on crashing's photo. Shawn's had some pixelation that I would consider excessive in the center, most likely due to pushing the purple a hair too far.

Thanks Ballen and cbh76! cb, that was probably the same storm system, I basically treated the lightning like an off camera flash and used the apeture to get the right exposure, the shutter speed was at 30" and I just "sprayed and prayed"!

Mel, great edit. I'm going to have to sit down and mess with photoshop!

Thanks again for the nice compliments!

Taken with 5d + 17-40

That 17-40 just SCREAMS on the 5D! Such a great couple!

Borrowed a 100-400 for shooting Formula Offroad this weekend. Shot 842 images in total and have only just begun the processing. But I'm pretty sure I'll have to do a HUGE print of this one:
