Are those lightning shots partly edited? They seem so surreal with the color purple, pardon me for my ignorance but it's the first time I noticed the purple, violet and indigo colors more prominent on lightning pictures. I usually see red and orange surrounding the lightning.
Anyway, those are indeed amazing shots and the adventure was worthwhile. The mountainous regions from where I live pale in comparison to the forest and terrain seen on these pictures.
hi @adamada, the edits are mostly in the contrast, shadows and exposure. Since it was right after the sunset we got the great blues and purples from blue hour. It was actually dark and we had the shutter on for 20 seconds so it picked up more light than we could see with our eyes.
Utah really does have great mountains! Where do you live?
