I guess I'm the one who's going to kick this off... so here goes.

I titled this, 'coming storm'. Those of you who are from the 'plains states' in the US know how ominous the skies get when the prairie storms roll in. Those of you who don't, this will give you an idea.

The technique used was photographing an oil / water mixture with a small amount of Dr. Martins added to the water,
pressed between 2 glass panes, the light was from underneath and an orange gel was used. ( this was for the sky )
I combined that photo with another of the ground and farm. Merged and did some adjustments. The original is 20 in wide and is matted with a chocolate brown matte.

Nice work Ronmat, very cool dramatic effect. [righton]

Btw, the reason why I moved this thread is described in the About the Drawing and Painting forum thread that I posted when I opened that forum a 2 days ago, you probably missed that one: http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/...p?topic=8166.0

Very nice, ronmatt. I`ve seen those skies.
They can make you feel very small.
