..mmmm...do I detect a slight feeling of doubt there Fozz.....it sure is a great pic...real or not...........
.....here's one I SAY I took from my back window.........but is it false or not?..........with today's methods of "photography" and the wonders of Photoshop coupled with somebody skilled at using such software ( like wot I am..cough cough) it would certainly be possible to fake it................I wonder..............commoner
If I can make something like that, I might do the following:
1. Take a normal daytime photo of the sky with buildings on the bottom of the shot.
2. Erase the sky to have a transparent background with the buildings still visible.
3. Layer the edited photo over another layer that consists of indigo [it's a color blend between blue and grey].
4. Slap a third layer of custom-made lightning between the two layers so that the lightning can be behind the buildings.
5. Darken the front-layer buildings and apply a semi-fade effect on the middle layer [the one with the lightning].
Viola!
Three problems though:
1. I suck at making custom-made lighting in PSP9.
2. The lighting* in the the forground might not be realistic.
3. I think I have too much time in my hands.
