Open_Minded Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Saw this on the web and thought of you people. Amazing moment the world's biggest Christ was struck by lightning http://www.good-thing.net/story/biggest_ch...y_lightning.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fweethawt Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'd check that one out if I were you... What's the likelihood of someone photographing that thing at that exact moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Harley Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Actually it's not that hard... you need to point your camera at the highest spot around during a thunderstorm... after that, there's a bit of luck involved, but you've mostly done the hard work.... Based on the form of lightning cuaght it looks like it was done with a photoelectric shutter trigger (notice there is no branching) For more detials on the technicalities of that see here Not saying it's not photoshop, just saying it's consistent with technology commonly used (it's an impressive bolt for a photoshopped picture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep doing it till it picks up a strike! Also sky backgrounds are easy to delete and replace with whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
