How a photographer got this shot of uptown Charlotte | CharlotteObserver.com & The Charlotte Observer Newspaper (http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/03/27/3130360/how-a-photographer-got-this-shot.html - broken link)


Chris Austin wants you to know a couple of things about this picture.
Yes, he tinkered with the color, contrast and clarity in Photoshop. No, that’s not a mash up of several shots. It’s just one. And yes, it’s real.
The rainbow. The storm. The skyline. All of it.
“We were actually out just looking for lightning shots,” says Austin, 43. “And it just popped up.”

I prefer the unaltered shot! Just needs some cropping!

Thanks for sharing that, Kitty!
