A photo of a tree struck by lightning
Sometimes, doctored pictures are entirely fabricated; other times they are minor exaggerations. This altered photo of a tree struck by lightning is an example of the latter. This event never really happened; Darren Pearson, a photographer and artist, thought to display his photoshop talents.
The chances of capturing this on camera are low, but people believed the picture was real. However, the artist only created this light painting shot using a long exposure. This would have been a fascinating picture if it was real.
