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 originally posted this shot. For fun, I spend a couple of hours taking the lines out with Photoshop CS6 and my Intuos tablet from +Wacom Americas (must tools for detail work like this). I like this image it so much better.Â

Both versions have their merits. The wires & fence give the original shot some perspective. I actually like both….with no preference for either. Damn that makes it hard to choose, sometimes. Nice shot either way!!

Does that break in the lightning bolt have to do with the removal of the  power lines?

+Brian Gaulke I removed the power lines without effecting the lightning. Took a while! Check out the link in this post to look at before and after.
