Before and After – Gypsum Hills Lightning Revisited

Earlier this year, I chased storms in and around the beautiful Gypsum Hills, Kansas with my friend Jim Reed. This was one beautiful sunset, the colors and the lightning was amazing. I loved this shot, but the power lines always bothered me. I left them in when I posted this shot. For fun, I spend a couple of hours taking the lines out with Photoshop CS6 and my Wacom Intuos tablet, must tools for detail work like this. I like this image it so much better. Drag the slider back and forth to see the difference.
