The Completely Un-official post a picture thread

I guess they used a super long expose time to capture all those bolts in one shot.

I wonder why they're different colors.

Pretty amazing picture.

Lightning photographs: The hue of lightning channels in photographs is usually a function of the type of film, camera, exposure, white balance and/or recording media used. The same lightning channel can appear blue, purple, red or orange depending on the type of film, length of exposure, and other factors. Slide film is more likely to produce a more purple/blue image, while print film tends to give lightning a more yellow/orange tint.

Very interesting.

So maybe it was a long exposure setting and the ones that don't appear to be odd colors occurred right before the exposure ended, effectively having a "normal" exposure length.

"Lightning traveling through open air emits white light, but can appear in different colors depending on local atmospheric conditions. Distant lightning can appear red or orange the same way the setting sun does, due to moisture, haze, dust, etc in the lower levels of the atmosphere. Light emitted by lightning has a similar visible spectrum as sunlight (white light), so the atmosphere should shift the colors of both the same way - given there is enough distance between the lightning and the observer.



When lightning strikes an object or the ground, the lightning channel is often a deep red or orange color for its last ten feet or so above the ground or the target object. Lightning striking a tree will appear a bright, fiery orange/red color for the length of the channel traveling down the tree."

That's one of the bikes I've always wanted to own.

Absolutely sick!

I made some fancy meat tonight for once.  Tomahawk Ribeye reverse-seared and finished with butter, garlic and garden rosemary.
