SciFi Storm and Red Barn

Thank you Georgia!!! :)

The sky was so great that day... thank you very much for the compliment :)

Thank you, Thomas! The sky really lent itself to this effect :)

Thank you Sandi! I get these wild ideas of what something COULD look like, then I go after it to see how close I can get. :) Thank you for the kind words!! (go see the one I just put up called "Studebaker Champion"... I really had some fun with that one!! :)

You got that right, Anne!! I chased the storm (a very heavy hail and lightning storm) until I caught up with this scene of barn and storm. And, yes, I love playing in Photoshop!! I had a plug-in that I knew would do wonderful things to this image :) I didn't want the effect to be on the barn, so I put the effect on a different layer, then selectively "erased" the effect off the barn and trees.

Thanks Al! It all came together on this one, for sure. I'll be checking out your galleries again soon :)

Thank you Lois! It really was a lot of fun!!

It was strong, no doubt... but I think the filtration made it more so! :)

Thanks Deborah! The fun part was playing with it AFTER using it :)

Thanks fellow sweetheART :)

I visualized this finished product when I took the original shot. It's even wilder than I imagined! :) Thanks for the comments!
