Photoshoping Screenshots for Some Crazy Results!
If you do not have Photoshop, you can try or buy the Elements 10, or you can try or buy CS6. GIMP is a free image editing software, but may be different than Photoshop in some steps.
1. Lets start with an image.

And a sky.

2. Use the magic wand tool and click on the sky. It will then be selected.
3. Make sure the Main layer is selected, and press the delete key. This will delete the sky from the Main layer.
4. Move the sky layer up some so the clouds make a little more sense.
5. Go to Layer>New Fill Layer>Gradient. Make the gradient from black to white. Then set the blending mode to Multiply and the Opacity to 20%.
6. Next, press CTRL + U to go to Hue/Saturation box. Decrease the saturation to -50.
7. Go to Enhance>Adjust lighting>Brightness/Contrast. Increase the brightness to 75.
8. Now go to Enhance>Adjust Sharpness. Set the amount to 89%, set the radius to 1 px, remove motion blur, and check "More Refined".
9. On the "Main" layer, go to Filter>Render>Lens Flare. Put the flare in the top right corner, set the brightness to about 110%, and then make the Lens Type "50-300mm Zoom.
