Jun.4/10, St. Catharines :

This shot was way overexposed due to the closeness of the bolts, so I had to bring the brightness down by a factor of almost 200 in Photoshop just for the bolts to be visible (in the original the sky was almost all white), then I had to up the contrast to make the bolts separate from the background. (I'm firmly against post-editing of shots to make them look "cooler" but in this instance it was necessary just to make it properly visible)
