Why is this on /r/funny, again?

[–]durktown 85 points86 points ago

OP thought his title was HILARIOUS.

[–]CaptainYoshi 64 points65 points ago

"HAHAHA OMG THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS"

[–]ComplainsAboutDvotes 47 points48 points ago

And by the upvote count, he was right.

[–]Eal12333 20 points21 points ago

Because everyone thought it was /r/pics, I would have left this with an upvote if I didn't look at the comments.

[–]fack9gag 49 points50 points ago

Why is 3/4 of the stuff on /r/funny on /r/funny? The guy with the avengers pic, the guy with his dog leaning against a wall, guy with a fake beard, the list goes on and on. /r/pics exists for a reason.

[–]Legorathorus 10 points11 points ago

Legitimate theory here, I think it is because /r/funny has more subscribers than /r/pics, so in theory, more people see it, more upvotes. Maybe it is this, or maybe the OP thought it was hilarious for a lightning bolt to strike down and possibly killing people.

[–]laughingplague 12 points13 points ago

Because they closed r/reddit.com and people decided funny should be the catchall... I hate it.

[–]barnabyjones7 5 points6 points ago

Cause that's Thor's reddit profile

[–]DrHawk144 3 points4 points ago

Because it is a space cock. Space cocks are hilarious.

[–]R7F 377 points378 points ago

This isn't funny...

[–]byte-smasher 177 points178 points ago

Particularly because most people here realize it's just a long exposure

[–]AOEUD 54 points55 points ago

Thanks, was curious.

[–]Kratoyd 24 points25 points ago

You can tell by looking at the streetlights. Also because the picture shows every individual arm of the formation of the path of the lightning.

I wonder if you could take two pictures, one short-exposure without the lightning, and one long-exposure with lightning, and smash them together to get a picture that would have long-exposure lightning and short-exposure everything else. That would look sick.

[–]Ali921 18 points19 points ago

I could tell by looking at all the pixels.

[–]robbiefreeze -1 points0 points ago

ISO levels would have more to do with that than the exporsure time, no?

[–]eyebeans 7 points8 points ago

Yes, but no. The F-Stop has more to do with this. When photographing lightning you are usually taking 10-30 second exposures, depending on ambient light and distance. If your F-Stop is too wide open the lightning will blow out the exposure, like this picture. I usually shoot wide angle, 16-30mm and try to keep F-Stop above 10 if possible.

[–]killer8424 7 points8 points ago

You just pretty much described HDR photography

[–]Scooott 3 points4 points ago

"Image > Apply Image..." in Photoshop. This technique can be credited for all sorts of photography styles; it's pretty neat.

Example!

[–]Kratoyd 2 points3 points ago

Cool! I need to get myself a copy of photoshop, right now I just use GIMP.

[–]aaronaqua1 45 points46 points ago

Fuckin' Goku.

[–]Shippoyasha 2 points3 points ago

Gohan had the lightning going, no?

[–]TwistedReality 9 points10 points ago

Didn't you remember, guys? /r/pics, /r/funny, and /r/WTF are interchangeable!

[–]TheRealMRichter 33 points34 points ago

This is awesome but in no way funny.

[–]Harry_Hardlong 35 points36 points ago

Fuck this area in particular.

[–]peanutbuttar 3 points4 points ago

what area is it?

[–]Legorathorus 7 points8 points ago

You know, that area. That designated place of which we are referring to.

[–]peanutbuttar 4 points5 points ago

Fuck yeah, I hate my environs too.

[–]Ronin_90 15 points16 points ago

And this is what happens when Zeus gives Thor a high-five

[–]Pookas 8 points9 points ago

This is great but why is it on r/funny?

[–]Steinocity 13 points14 points ago

"This is hilarious!" said no one

[–]babies_with_rabies 17 points18 points ago

And that's why Thors parents awlays caught him when he tried to sneak home.

[–]Shinigamijono 4 points5 points ago

FIRE THE ION CANNON!

[–]UncleHouse 3 points4 points ago

Ctrl-F and type "Thor"

[–]indyK1ng 13 points14 points ago

[–]Damn_I_lost_my_thing 2 points3 points ago

I think sweet Zeus is more accurate.

[–]Thundrthomas 9 points10 points ago

This is why I never fart near any heat source.

[–]velociraptorpikachu 5 points6 points ago

I SUMMON SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON!!!!!

[–]Robot_Meatloaf 5 points6 points ago

[–]noobbuster 2 points3 points ago

[–]TeddyMonsta 1 point2 points ago

[–]ZarkingFrood42 1 point2 points ago

[–]ClassicCat 1 point2 points ago

When i read the title and clicked on this post, the lightning was no huge it made me forget the title and i whispered, "Holy mother of god." then went back to the front page and read the title again. I then proceeded to go back to this post to finding myself logging in and writing this post.
