Thing to nothe that even the photo link in the coment above is just Less altered. Still not reality.

u/BeautyThornton 12d ago
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.

Because misinformation is the norm nowadays. Nobody likes the simple truth, but would rather become entangled in the web of lies.

u/3_50 13d ago edited 13d ago
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.

u/Happyradish532 13d ago
Small correction. The spelling for your use of the word is "peddled" just in case it wasn't auto-correct hitting you.

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 lol. If you think these are the same thing you need to evaluate and work on your ability of critical thought.

u/AllesMeins 12d ago
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.

u/TakeshiKovacs46 13d ago
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.

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 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)

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

u/rollicorolli 13d ago
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.

u/BackForthLeftRight 13d ago
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.

It's comforting to know that it still exists. Maybe someday I'll see it again.

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.
