FlyBoy1960 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 This is not Hurricane Katrina (the top image). These photographs (with the exception of the last photograph) were taken about 8 years before Hurricane Katrina. The original photograph (number one) was taken around 1995, and the others not much afterwards. I have not seen the last image that I can remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I tried for years to get a good lightning strike shot, particularly in the Goldfields and other remote areas of W.A. - but generally with little success. Then one time in the early 1970's, I got a fantastic single lightning strike at night, shot with my old SLR Canon, in the Southern Goldfields of W.A. It was a massive strike that ran from top right of the frame towards the bottom left, and it illuminated a large Salmon Gum that was adjacent to my buildings on my mining lease. I was really proud of it - but only had the one original copy on a 35mm slide. Then, in 1982, my house in the W.A. wheatbelt suffered an overvoltage event that set fire to it, and in which fire, I lost vast amounts of my personal possessions. And amongst those lost possessions was hundreds and hundreds of photos - along with that superb lightning strike shot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Unfortunately, as with many "fantastic" photos and captions, the reality is a little different to what it is purported to be. Photo-editing is a worldwide sport. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/is-sunset-moscow-real/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
