OK, just a fun little exercise in happenstance. I shot this from my car window, on the way to work (while driving 60mph +/-)... Not exaclty the "right" way to do it, no tripod, no careful composition, nothing. Auto settings, Aperture priority, wide open to get the fastest shutter speed. On a dark, looking-like-rain morning. I'll attach the original.
1.1250th sec, f5.0.

IN Photoshop Elements 2.0:
Rotated to straight
Cropped to what I'd've done if not driving.
Made new layer, adjusted top layer to keep the range of tones in the sky. Adjusted bottom layer (with levels) to get the rest of the shot decent. Erased everything but the sky from the top layer, the flatened. Converted to B&W with Photo-Plugins filter. Added sepia tone w/ solid color layer and blend. Burned the sky a bit. Added white border with resize-canvas.

And done.

Diana Child 		  I love it... Reminds me of an old barn we used to have. We'd pretend it was haunted and scare the neighbors kids... We were mean.
