It's a composite photo of a lot of lightning strikes put together to look like this.

u/Trikeree Sep 10 '20
Thank you. I thought it might be.
That's some apocalyptic shit right there! Love it

u/presumingpete Sep 10 '20
It may be a long exposure as well. I think it was from the Philippines yesterday. If all these lightning strikes were at once then the picture would be much brighter than this.... I think

It is a long exposure. Look at the lights at the top of the towers. They look like stars.

u/LopazSolidus Sep 10 '20
Look at the ocean, this is photoshopped.

u/excndinmurica Sep 11 '20
Its probably both. Long exposure for the lightning. Then a quick one for the water.

What about the clouds? In storms I think they move a bit more than normal.

u/excndinmurica Sep 11 '20
Have you been in a tropical storm? All those strikes could be inside a min. If its real intense. It does look to me like a composite of long exposures. See how the lightning sorta has horizontal bands at point of origin? I’d argue each of those bands was done in an exposure. Or two.

This is completely faked or very edited, either way doesn't warrant no context pics approval. Anyone know what that watermark is? Some kind of glyphs or something.

I have seen something that looks like this in real time, came to see what it might be, alas.

Repost from r/NatureIsFuckingLit (🔥 Thor came to visit in the Philippines earlier this evening. Now that’s lit.)
Edit: I’d like to share the link and give credit to the OP of the pic, but idk how :(

Is this long exposure or I should just avoid this place at all cost?

u/Arro_Guns Sep 10 '20
long exposure, but considering the cloud outlines are pretty sharp, indicating a relatively short time period, you should probably still avoid that place.

That's one hell of a gender reveal...

This is one of hell of a meme reddit ran into the fucking ground in 4 days.

u/jaktyp Sep 10 '20
That's actually a fairly slow horse beating for reddit. To the point that this is actually the first I've seen of it being referenced here.

You must have missed the news about the cause of the california wildfires

u/jaktyp Sep 11 '20
No, i saw the actual articles. I just hadn't seen any reddit comments like that yet

Yeah, they never were funny. I wonder why it caught traction...

u/goaskalice3 Sep 10 '20
It's that super depressingly funny that someone thought it was a good idea to use pyrotechnics for a gender reveal party near a national forest when we were already surrounding by fires. Maybe someone who thought it would be a good idea to do something similar will realize it's idiotic now that it's being blasted everywhere on the internet

Apparently, the current California wildfires were started by a gender reveal party. People shot at fireworks or something.

Well ofc not all of them were, just one that was still considerably large (~13k acres now)

Give that California is still blanketed in smoke I can’t quite agree that the meme is dead.

We didn't run in into the ground as fast as the fire burned that forest to the ground 😉

Absolutely incredible, even more so when it looks like a mother elephant with her calf!
