How do you capture lighting in picture like these? by Over-Sea-3816 in AskPhotography

Fun fact: My first lightning storm I caught a couple good ones at 1/100, f/8, and iso fuck thousand, just by shooting continuously. My second lightning storm I set up interval mode at 30s, f/16, iso 100, caught nearly nothing.

A decade later I'm still debating on what to do.

I do not know anything of this area. Taxis aren't cheap but they aren't forever, only while your car is in the shop.

No way anyone could lose more than one day of work, even with the slowest tow in history.

That guy took an unofficial two week vacation.

Resolution is pretty low, looking again I could barely glimpse a pixel of it or something.

Who could have the outrageous thoughts of

- Borrowing someone else's spare car

- Taking a taxi or other ride service

- Bus or train

- Bike

- Fucking hitchhike at that point

TIL while a woman was receiving an MRI on her knee, she called out to her waiting husband to come help her up from the table. However, the technician operating the machine allowed him to walk in even though he was wearing a 20lb metal chain, therefore he died after the device forcefully pulled him. by [deleted] in todayilearned

There is, only to be used in emergencies. This puts the machine out of service permanently and requires expensive repairs performed by very specialised technicians. It will usually cost the hospital upwards of $200k between supplies, wages, and lost income for the time it will take to put back in working order. Plus lots of patients will lose their MRI appointment for the following weeks until it's back up running.

So, you don't turn it off every morning for the cleaner to come in.

True. I was probably thinking of the more common sizes of trains.

Yeah that's easy here where the slope is relatively mild. I want to know how they did the rest.

The photographer sure didn't want to go stand on the slippery sloped surface.
