Yeah good stuff, the winner, that volcano with the ash lightning, is a time-lapsed composite, not a momentary shot of an instant. Very striking and beautiful, but I wonder what their threshold is for the difference between simple photography and multi-image compositing with enhancement?

The folk's working for NG capture some amazing footage. I saw a documentary where a couple guy's spent two month's in terrible conditions for a single shot.

Yeah. I was wondering the same thing. Same exact thing. Yep. [emoji2]. JK. It don’t matter to me. Art is often multi-layered and dimensional. Pleasing the eye and ear, filling us with wonder and awe and emotion, is what matters to me.jeffcoslacker wrote: Very striking and beautiful, but I wonder what their threshold is for the difference between simple photography and multi-image compositing with enhancement?

I agree, to an extent. It's kinda like when they create complex and pleasing music by just compiling samples into slots in a pro audio tools format. Yeah it sounds great. But they can't play that. It's a different type of talent.RoadKing wrote:Yeah. I was wondering the same thing. Same exact thing. Yep. [emoji2]. JK. It don’t matter to me. Art is often multi-layered and dimensional.

I stood for over 40 minutes, in mortal peril, with my arms resting on a chain link fence in the most incredible electrical storm I'd ever seen in my life, keeping my camera steady and trying and failing over and over and over to train my reflexes to trigger the camera at precisely the right moment to capture these beautiful, crawling networks of chain lightning moving across the entire sky, along the cloud bottoms. Finally, I got some real good ones.
THAT, being so focused on capturing it that I literally discarded the very real possibility of getting killed by what I was trying to get an image of, is what made those pics so special to me. [emoji106]
Or I coulda put a DSLR that shoots images like a minigun on a tripod and triggered it remotely during the event, and probably would have gotten better images.
But somehow, less satisfying. Definitely safer though
