Reed, I hope you don't mind... but the first thing that came to mind when I saw your photo, like Mark, was tilt-shift.

No worries, I figured someone would do it after I took it

Looks good and familiar

[Chewy734]

I think it would've been a more dramatic tilt-shift effect if there was less of the sky, and the camera was tilted a little more down towards the city.

I'll take one of those shots for you sometime so you can play. Wish I were on the top floor sometimes. But I can only imagine how hot it gets up there...

@The1 - Love that lightning shot

@Chewy734 - This is cool, did you use a tilt shift lens or was it PS'd?

That was actually Reed's photo that I quickly edited in PS.

Thanks, and Chewy's is a photoshopped picture.

mark you get any of the nasty weather last night or too far south?

I heard a lot of peeps in the far south (like kankakee) got hail. I know ur like 2 hrs further south of there but just wondering how bad it was.

The GF slaps me if I do.

She kept running all over the place and up and down the stairs and wouldn't sit still. The 2 seconds she stopped long enough for me to take a picture she sticks her tongue out at me . That's the thanks I get for adopting her.

Nope, nothing bad here. I saw the storms just to the north of Champaign yesterday morning, but they never moved south. We had a small line of storms blow through this morning, but they're gone now.

Amazing shot, vachss.

One day I will own an Italian sports car.

Thanks, Chewy. I probably should have played with the warp tool to straighten the horizon, but it's not a gallery-type shot anyway, so no sense wasting too much time on it.

This way it's harder for us to say, "Straighten the horizon."

[Chewy734]

yeah Dave, that's why I didn't say it. A simple rotation won't get it done.
