Rain and storm for Cpt pt 2

Either way, that’s how the storm felt from my vantage with the constant lightning and rolling thunder :cool:

It's nothing to do with being chilled or not...if you MUST post a image that has been altered/modified/stacked/stretched/levels/curves ...AI modified/generated then let the avg Joe who is clueless know at least instead of trying to score brownies by posting...and worse enabling ppl to believe e.g that sharks swim around city streets after a flood!

Been in IT since mid 80s... prob longer than the OP has been alive.

Please act your age and not your shoe size.

Also if you let long exposures or stacked photos, of huge lightning storms, bother you this much on a tech forum, where the average IQ is higher than elsewhere, then I'm afraid your superiority complex looks more like one of inferiority

A polite suggestion. Please post stacked/altered/PS images in the Photography forum. They don't add much to this particular thread.

Where I disagree is that stacked or processed weather photography somehow belongs outside a weather thread. A long exposure can capture multiple lightning strikes in-camera. Stacking simply combines genuine exposures afterwards. Neither makes the weather fictitious. I completely agree with AI and PS photos

Are you hard of hearing or just being a proverbial d00S, methinks the later.

There are plenty of AI threads, go post your fictitious cr*p there or create your own, this isn't a thread for pumping AI or otherwise generated images! Read the F title numpty!
 
It has been very blustery In Kenilworth for most of the day, as vortices tumble down off Table Mt. The straight line wind speed has not been as high as we sometimes get in winter, but quite strong for a supposedly weak cold-front in Spring. The rain hasn't arrived yet (5pm), but the cloud layers are getting very dark. The Milnerton webcam gives a nice overview:

Edit: First sprinkles of rain in Kenilworth at 5:15pm, though nothing visible from that angle on the Milnerton webcam.

People have been posting lightning photos for years, and long exposures & stacking have been one of the standard ways of photographing lightning for much longer.

Ten real seconds, or photographs of ten real lightning strikes, do not magically become “AI” because long exposure or stacking was involved.

Try not to let what has always been perfectly normal photography give you a nervous breakdown.

Perhaps learn the difference between AI, long exposure and stacking before lecturing everyone else about what is “real”

@capd Listen because this is my last post to you.

I've been involved in astro imaging and modifying DSLRs for astro, IR, and Full Spectrum since 2008.
I have my own company as a sideline business started in UK, so don't you tell me about lecturing.

I know exactly what stacking 2-10m min exposures(called lights) on GEM and portable astro tracker mounts, post processing in DSS, PixInsight and Adobe, stretching, levels and curves, layers, masking...

You once again are F missing the point entirely. Obtusely because of your brownie point agenda.

One final time:

"There are plenty of AI threads, go post your fictitious cr*p there or create your own, this isn't a thread for pumping AI or otherwise generated images! Read the F title numpty!"

Not a breathe of wind Atlantic Seaboard side - forecast of gusts 63km/hr and winds up to 40km/hr, although we face N/NW here in Sea Point!

The temp has dropped dramatically though...
