Title: Volcano Lightning Pictures
Post by: TheCommandTent on June 16, 2012, 08:53:03 AM
The link below is a small gallery of lightning spawned by volcanoes.  There are some pretty incredible pictures there.  I assume though, that most have been touched up or enhanced?

I think I had heard about lightning and volcanoes but I did not realize that the volcanic activity and ash clouds caused its own lightning.

I think they have been digitally touched up. Here's a link to the Nat Geo site. These look kinda raw: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2012/06/pictures/120611-volcano-lightning-volcanic-redoubt-eos-science/

Enhanced, probably, but using a program that brings out the lighting in the lightning (hee hee). I have a friend who has this program, you take three pics and the programs matrixes the color in each into a richer tone. Those three pics are done with a slower exposure speed, so that the picture gets saturated.
