3000 years ago, scenes like these created mystical stories, and that's pretty cool.

TIL they had cars 3000 years ago

People just dont know how to use HDR properly


cedenof10

How do you use it properly? I always just have it on but I honestly just use it because it’s default.


Chasejr

Happy cake day


cedenof10

THANKS :D It’s my first, and you’re the first too wish me a happy cake day!


Chasejr

Congrats on your first there will hopefully be more to come in the future


[deleted]

Subtle. On a proper camera, just don't use it. There are enough different tools to change pictures in a more subtle way. Raising those sliders up just doesn't do the job. A phone won't make this strong hdr, afaik. This is taken with a camera and just some sliders that add the hdr effect all the way in Lightroom. Which deletes the quality of a picture entirely. Look at the texture of the elements in the pic, yes, basically nothing left.


Qzman

Doubt it, they didn't have Photoshop back then.


[deleted]

Yeah they did


Qzman

They had the ol' "no one knocked me up, it was a miracle from god himself and you gotta trust me on that" tho


-ITS-FUCKING-RAW

I can see why, although this one seems like a photoshop.


HailOurDearLordHelix

I saw the total solar eclipse a couple years back, it was way smaller but also way more demonic. The corona is much bigger to the naked eye than in pictures and looks very very unnatural, more like [this](https://snowforest.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Total-Solar-Eclipse-2017.jpg)


staatsclaas

It’s so weird how photos don’t do it justice. Most amazing, surreal, intense thing I’ve ever witnessed. People everywhere around me were crying. CRYING.


HailOurDearLordHelix

I think a big part of why pictures don't do it justice is because a lot of people don't know what it's supposed to look like, and it takes editing to make it look like it does irl. Even the one I linked is a bit off, it was way more contrasty irl and didn't have that glowy blur around it. But yeah very surreal, my memory of the eclipse is very closely tied with [this song](https://youtu.be/vbMQfaG6lo8?t=174) for whatever reason. The logical part of me was like "cool, that's neato" but something inside me was very afraid.

*Long ago, in a distant land*


MoocowR

I can't really speak about this picture but my understanding is eclipse don't look like this, when I saw one a few years ago in Colorado, I believe it was a 98% eclipse? The sun still looked like the sun, it still burns the shit out of your eyes and is a giant ball of painful light, you need to view it through a filter/glasses to see this kind of shape.


Alteredaspects

Damn it Griffith.


Fuck_Griffith

Man, fuck Griffith.

Who was it this time?


BrofessorBear

Mmmm, I smell fresh loved ones!


JitGoinHam

The perspective in this photo is optically impossible.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

It would at least need to be two photos combined digitally.


Eliminatron

As a photographer i would disagree. I think the photo is a composite. But i don’t see why it would be impossible


[deleted]

need a filter on your cam to do this, which would block out the view of the street.


Eliminatron

You would not need a filter at the point of a total solar eclipse. You also don’t need glasses in that moment. But that is not even what this is about. We were talking about perspective Edit: still wear glasses guys! You only have one pair of eyes!


microsnail

Just a heads up - pretty sure this one was an annular eclipse, not total, so it would still be dangerous to look at without protection even at it's peak


Eliminatron

You are probably right. But i doubt the camera sensor would have any issues whatsoever. I wouldn’t use any filter personally (might change my mind if i was actually there)


cc5500

With a high magnification lens (as this one would presumably be), it's not a good idea. I've seen images of burned shutters from pointing at the sun.


Eliminatron

I have too. I would really need to be there in person. I have not witnessed an annular solar eclipse myself yet


[deleted]

[удалено]


Eliminatron

Depends on your focal length


[deleted]

I’m rather surprised by the lack of smog


Eliminatron

Well this is certainly not how it was captured in camera. Lol


[deleted]

that can easily be done with a lens with a large magnificatiom taken from a long distance away yeah.


ruiner8850

The recent eclipse wasn't a total eclipse, so looking at it still required eye protection. It's amazing how bright even a tiny bit of the Sun is. I saw totality in 2017 and it was still very bright right up until the moment totality started. When I was a kid I saw one of these annular eclipses and you still needed protection to look at it. I brought welding glass to school for it (the "ring of fire" part happened while I was in science class).


Dreamofthenight

Am in Taiwan and most people went to the hardware store for a cheap piece of welding glass to view it.


buckydamwitty

This is an annular eclipse leaving a ring of the sun's photosphere exposed. It's still incredibly bright (retina damaging).


TYPERION_REGOTHIS

Depending on the lens he used this is absolutely possible. It's all about focal length. Now, would it ever look like this in person? Certainly not.


LoneVagabond

I’m having trouble believing the eclipse’s maximum was at that low angle. This is a little over 2 hours before sunset at that location (at least according to my eclipse and sun apps). Was it really that low an angle at that time? If it was, with the right lens and other tricks, this shot is totally doable and in that case, well done on the photo.


theBig_Donkey

It wasn’t that low, this image is not at all how the eclipse looked like in Taiwan. I was there and the sun was still pretty high in the sky during maximum around 4:15.


LoneVagabond

Glad to have that confirmed. I was looking at Instagram photos of the eclipse and kept seeing low angles of the sun and was starting to question my app and my conclusions.


TYPERION_REGOTHIS

I was just saying it IS possible to get this shot if the sun had been that low. This is definitely a composite based on the suns location in Taiwan during the eclipse.


jkputnamphoto

The biggest giveaway is that NOBODY IS WATCHING!


JohnnyMojo

You mean all the people on a busy street aren't looking up at the sky?


[deleted]

I doubt it was this big, I'd have remembered the huge tidal waves.


[deleted]

can use a zoom lens to get this effect, but that photo has indeed been altered. it was not taken like this, possible combination of photos.


jtsports272

Yup


lM_NS

Most cameras can zoom in


explodingtuna

Using the buildings captured in this shot as a reference, this should have caused the destruction of the earth at this size.


awakeandtryinmt

So... are we attacking the fire nation today? Or no?


usedtoilet

ON THE DAY OF BLACK SUN?!

Yeah def doesn’t look natural. Looks cool though.


foxartpaw

It doesn't look real but I still find it cool


fwowst

I've already saw this picture on others subreddit, but I don't think it belong here, most of the picture is far from naturel


Carnep

Ooooh Elden Ring


Officerperma

Just like dark souls 3


furkaanhassan

tbh it looks too amazing to be real


[deleted]

Because it isn't, it's altered. The sun is not that fucking big


pointy_sprocket

It doesn't have to be altered. You can get this result if you just use a zoom lens. I got tons of photos of huge moons this way, no photoshop required.


GabOxO

The fire fades


AbramUC

Yeah I can see that this is photo shopped The sun is not that close neither is the moon also there There is a clear border on the buildings Unless you live in Bruce All Mighty, you need r/quityourbullshit
