Hello everyone,
I stumbled upon this site today and find that whole debunking process you guys are involved in very interesting. I'm especially interested in explaining visual phenomena and I have something that I always wondered about. Maybe one of you can explain what exactly is going on here.
These are still images from a video of a thunderstorm I recorded with a cheap digital camera a couple of years ago. After taking a closer look at the lightning I recorded, I noticed that sometimes the lightning seems to be in front of trees and buildings, which means it would have struck about 100-150 meters from my window, several times. I don't know that it looks like when lightning actually strikes the ground and when observing the lightning, I always felt like the lightning struck much further away, behind the trees. So I was thinking it's probably some sort of visual artefact (like the frame in the middle row to the right, where the lightning is actually cut off entirely). Is it some form of double exposure? Can anyone explain what exactly is going on here technically?
