That has to be AI, odds of capturing that shot are probably higher than the lottery.
I hear the trick is to take a video and screenshot when the lightning hits. Not sure this is the case in this picture or not ??
Haven't used one but these do exist.

With actual high speed cameras there is a rolling couple of secondish buffer that you trigger the end.
A case of hydraulic fluid looks like a human going out the chute of a big Oshkosh.
Not that I would know anything about that.
Could be a continuous capture camera. It basically takes high frame-rate images constantly. They pass through a buffer and if the camera detects a lightning strike in it's view it saves those frames to permanent memory.
^^What LeftyJason linked to. but probably a better sensor in a pro-rig.
There are actually new Devices called lightning triggers For digital cameras that are designed to capture lightning. They will fire the shutter faster than a human can and apparently sense some of the precursor energy to a lightning strike.

I believe thats the case here. The caption said she just happened to catch it as it hit. One hit a tree in my back yard. When I cut it down the entire center was burnt out.

I once cut down a tree a week or two after it got hit. The inside was still smoldering.
Zippo lost in D-day and found years later…
Dont know if this was lightning or wind but odd either way

I believe this is much more the case than many realize.
Lightning. I have a 140’ oak in the woods that lightning ran straight down the trunk. It blew the bark off from the top to the roots in a perfectly straight line.
I found it a few days after I heard the strike because of all of the shards of bark blown out in a circle and thought it was weird til I looked up and saw the damage.
The tree died and it standing there like a statue. It’s probably dry and ready for firewood but it’s on a slope and surrounding by other monster trees, I don’t think imma mess with it. Eventually it will fall on its own and not kill me….probably.
Last week when I knew my wife was going to her mom’s, I bought a very nice grass fed USA ribeye from Aldi. I love their grass fed hamburger and lamb but usually buy steaks from Lowes Food. Lowes ribeyes are $25/lb…yes I know but really good steaks. This nice ribeye from Aldi is $15/lb, so I took a chance.
I cooked it Sunday evening and was absolutely impressed. It was so flavorful and tender. About 1.1lbs and 1.25” thick it just simply was a fantastic steak.
So…..yesterday I jetted down to Aldi again and bought another and cooked it last night.

I didn’t believe what I was experiencing. It was top 3 steaks ever, maybe number 1 but at my age
They are vacuum sealed so ready to freeze. I am buying more before they are discontinued or something. So glad I am not Hindu.

I remember holding this baby the day he was delivered into my life. I remember every hurt and all turmoil melting into a love so pure that it still defies description. God is sovereign, He plans our moments and orders our steps.

Stupid goat is now hanging in the butcher's cooler. The girls named him Sweet potato cuz he was born on Thanksgiving.
I worked on a farm one summer in the late 70’s driving a hay rake. It got really froggy out and there was a tornado warning issued. We all got in a hay barn when it started to thunder and lightning. There were 5-6 Santa Gertrudis cows out in the field and a bull got struck in the shoulder and blew its ass out , literally. It dropped to the ground and spasmed for a minute. The foreman tried to salvage some meat ,but it was too messed up to save much. He weighed close to 2K and was his prized bull.
Lightening don’t play !
He’s lucky to have a great granddad
I never thought my daughter would ever have a baby. Totally surprised when she told me she was going to have a kid. She made me a first time granddad that will be 2 in October. Waited 70 years to hold my granddaughter.
Nothing like it !Attachments
