Nature's Spark-HDR

This is a Remaster of a previous image. Created 5 exposures from original RAW file to create a HDR image in Photomatix software. I used the software to create a Tonemap to bring out more detail and color. Then used Photoshop to adjust the curves slightly on the new image.

Photo Description:
Thunderstorm around Granite Oklahoma. Lightning sparked a small grass fire east of Granite. Between the rain and local Fire Department, the fire was put out within 15 minutes.
