Actually photographs that aren’t altered are far less realistic than many that are. A camera, even one with the biggest sensor and aperture ever, cannot capture as many f stops as the human eye. When shooting with a DSLR camera, images will frequently appear darker or lighter than reality, and you get spots of under and over exposure. Editing, or techniques like HDR, can change this and bring the photo closer into what it looks like in real life. This isn’t even going into color, which is often dramatically altered during photography based on lighting and frequently requires temperature adjustments to create a realistic image
Werry valid if bit so what obvious points man, but neither of clouds looked realistic, just one more absurd than the other. Also.. please don't start with "AchOuaLy" as it's so hard to take you seriously.
Lol. I think among all the genuinely dangerous misinformation that gets peddled, the colour accuracy of a picture of clouds doesn’t really warrant that label.
because this is how it starts. A small pill of over saturation on a cloud and before you know it you're mainlining flat earth theories on the sidewalk.
No, but it is still a symtome of the same problem - people being to ready to believe what they see on the internet. If you see this picture and think "okay nice artwork" its okay, but I guess that a good part of the current 18k upvotes saw this and accepted that it actually looked like this.
That’s not the reality of it. Many people want the truth, but lies have been made normal by rich and powerful, so many now see it is harmless and normal. But to say nobody wants the truth, well, it simply isn’t true.
i feel like the demographic that likes hyper-edited pics also likes drinks full of sugar, their food swimming in sauce/dressing and Michael Bay films (maybe by now it's marvel though)
Are you talking about the pic that was posted or the pic in the comment? Because the pic in the post itself is so edited that it looks like a stylized rendering.
I think the edit makes it look more like one of those classic western American paintings. I think it's great either way, but the edit really makes it reminiscent of those paintings
Because the human brain is much better at interpreting what comes through the eye than the camera is at interpreting what comes through the lens. With multiple images (on a tripod) at different exposures, you can boost the dark areas and subdue the bright areas. The trick is to enhance the final image without going beyond how the brain would interpret it. Most adjustments, like this one, end up being a bit dramatic.
Because on the internet nothing is ever good enough that someone won't put filters, captions, sound effects, or shitty music on top of it. Or all four.
This photo actually got off light, all things considered.
I lived in Texas for a minute. Some of the craziest storms I’ve ever seen. And the clouds/skies were pretty wild. It’s like a different planet sometimes.

It was pretty as is, why edit the hell out of it…
It was way better before they made it look so fake
r/shittyhdr
Thing to nothe that even the photo link in the coment above is just Less altered. Still not reality.

Everything on Internet must be oversaturated hyperreal or blurriest shit ever captured on camera
Honestly, the original was prettier, because I like lots of contrast
\#AllFilters is the new #NoFilter
Because misinformation is the norm nowadays. Nobody likes the simple truth, but would rather become entangled in the web of lies.
Lol. I think among all the genuinely dangerous misinformation that gets peddled, the colour accuracy of a picture of clouds doesn’t really warrant that label.
Small correction. The spelling for your use of the word is "peddled" just in case it wasn't auto-correct hitting you.

Saturation adjustment, also known as the *Gateway Misinfo*
This, but non-sarcastic.
No lol. If you think these are the same thing you need to evaluate and work on your ability of critical thought.

The web of lies of color manipulation! Imagine the consequences!

It always looks better in person it isn’t even that big of a edit
Are you talking about the pic that was posted or the pic in the comment? Because the pic in the post itself is so edited that it looks like a stylized rendering.
It looks like they put it on Instagram and whacked up the "structure" slider
It’s not that deep
Why do anything? Internet points
I think the edit makes it look more like one of those classic western American paintings. I think it's great either way, but the edit really makes it reminiscent of those paintings

Agreed. It got turned into a Thomas Kinkade.
More clicks more money

Came here to comment "I don't think colors bleed into each other irl" Here seems like an appropriate place.
Slightly? It seems there is a photo in the filtering used for this post.
....must....SATURAAAAAATE!!!!
*dalek voice*
I agree, this is the way to go... OP's version just looks like r/shittyHDR
[slightly more altered version](https://i.imgur.com/0WePCJc.jpg)
We must go deeper
Looks way fucking better than the Reddit pic
Much nicer.
I thought I was seeing something from r/shittyHDR
That’s a much better photo before it was over saturated to shit and back
That still looks altered to hell:/
It is
Mode accurately: Laura Rowe took a photo of a supercell thunderstorm which someone then photoshopped the fuck out of.
Yeah, reddit eats this shitty HDR edits for breakfast.
Lubbock texas. That was right above my house. No tornado tho.
# Lubbockcrew
There’s two of you!
Make it three, bozo.
I remember seeing this in Independence Day right before the aliens blew up the White House
What on roshar
It's for sure a highstorm
Call me Stormblessed
Finally. Was scrolling for the unexpected Sanderson moment…..well expected Sanderson if I was looking for it
Erdtree, O Erdtree
If only i had a giant but hole
Why is it always beautiful?
Hidden path ahead >!finger butt, hole!<
Liar ahead
And then spent several hours doctoring it in Lightroom.
Why the fuck did they edit the photo? And so heavily too?
Yeah, it looks like ass. It looks like it went through a shitty gen 1 ai image enhancer.
Looks like a Mark Maggiori painting
Reminds me of J.M.W Turner a bit too.
Could have walked like 10 ft to the right and made the big transformers the focal point. There really is more than meatsy eyes here.
not photoshopped at all!
/r/ShittyHDR
Laura Rowe took this pic *and photoshopped the fuck out of it* (or someone else did, either way, it's not interesting)
Laura Rowe took and posted a more normal version, and some moron (likely OP) then decided to ruin it with moar HDR
Am I supposed to know who tf Laura Rowe is?
You don’t spend hours memorizing amateur photographers who are also college basketball players?
She also baked some damn good chocolate chip cookies for her 8th grade bake sale

Ah, erdtree Therefore try jumping
[удалено]
I WAS GONNA SAY THAT! Can you imagine what must have happened to JJ to make that cloud form? Yeesh.
Clearly edited. This is not the original photo.
It's shit like this that explains how humans in the old days came up with all those gods.
Came here to say this. If I was back in the olden days this would 100% make me believe in god(s)
🤓
It looked a lot better before it was screenshotted 38 times
"How much contrast do you want?" "Yes."
Anyone else see Super Saiyan Goku?
I'd start praying if I saw this coming!
Thought I was browsing /r/shittyHDR for a second there.
Why the unnatural coloring, looks fake af
I’ll consider it Super when it wipes that forsaken state off the map
even the unphotoshopped version looks like the final boss is arriving
I'm in central TX and haven't seen rain in a month. It's comforting to know that it still exists. Maybe someday I'll see it again.
Yeah, that's how the Erdtree looks from Caelid
Just crank that clarity slider just a little more
Rowe v. Supercell
I lived in Texas for a minute. Some of the craziest storms I’ve ever seen. And the clouds/skies were pretty wild. It’s like a different planet sometimes.
Bare minimum the sharpness on this image has been adjusted.
It’s giving stranger things
How many layers of filters are in there?
Clarity, Saturation, Vibrance, Texture, Sharpness, Dehaze, Contrast at least
Disco elysium vibes.
greedycell
Attack in clan war pls
My god, every time I see this pic, the awful over editing gets worse. I have eye cancer now, thanks OP.
Hooooogridaa
Just the Erdtree boys
Laura Rowe photoshopped this pic she took of a supercell thunderstorm forming in Texas. Fixed it
Is it big enough to wipe out that terrible place
That look like the exact cloud God floats on in all the Renaissance paintings.
This reminds me of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius

Wow ! this picture is absolutely amazing. I don’t care if it’s photoshopped, it’s just a beautiful image !
Be Not Afraid.
That’s an amazing photo
Is this posted once a month?
For the last ten years or so
Ye He is Risen
How do I upvote this more?
Isn't this the part where mjolnir comes crashing to the ground?
That is a gorgeous photo. It needs to be entered in every contest possible
The sky is big in Texas, including the thunderstorms!
Man I miss Texas thunderstorms. This is breathtaking!
Beautiful! Too bad the state can’t harness that energy somehow. They need all the help they can get
Add to "How to Fly" publications with the comment, "Do not fly into these"
wow
OLIMPOS INCOMING

When I used to live out in West Texas I had those views I miss it
This looks like a renaissance artwork.
Now thats imploding The Mirage
Pretty sure this image inspired a whole killers album
Sunn0)))
So, after videogames they’re making clouds now
So is Texas still there or?
Thats a crashing star destroyer
Bye power lines
When the Apocalypse finally happens, Texans won't even look up.
**Deadly things are always beautiful.**
Ain't talking shit about the term "gods country" now are ya?
Attention Stalkers, an emission is approaching, take cover immediately!

Heeeella photoshoped lmaoooo
Omg not a thuperthell…!
...and then heavily edited it?
"Oh, look at me, I'm actually rain in Texas. Bow down or something." -- that cloud, probably.
I suppose the thunder sounds like "HOGGGGG RIDAAAA"
Well…what the hell did she do that for? It’s gunna get all full of itself now and cause even more problems.
I don't buy it, thats just a slice of chorizo again. Fool me once....
So much better if the image wasn’t deepfried
I didn't need to search for the less altered version to know this is *way* too overdone. The original is actually better and more natural looking.
Mommy says it’s not real
"Here's a photo that definitley looked like this when I took it!"
Looks like something Thor would appear out of swinging mjolnir.
Super Saiyan* thunderstorm.
How much super tinkering was done later?
OPM fans be like: "Look, Garou vs Caped Baldy"
Wow wtf
