- AltF3, on 11/14/2008, -1/+19Shoulda gone all Orson Welles on Digg's ass and said "Mushroom cloud over Western US"
- GeeksSpeakFont, on 11/13/2008, -2/+16that is so beautiful!
- schrankage, on 11/14/2008, -0/+11You're pretty liberal with your nuts, buddy.
- Jehutes, on 11/14/2008, -1/+11nice.
lots of good pictures being posted lately that make for good backgrounds. =) - vitaminz1990, on 11/14/2008, -0/+8The world is a beautiful place.
- chuckDontSurf, on 11/14/2008, -0/+7TMI, fatty.
- Louis11, on 11/14/2008, -0/+7If i'm not mistaken HDR is a method of editing images . . .
- BrianOl, on 11/14/2008, -0/+7Dugg because he didn't say "amazing" and also because he didn't claim it would be the most resplendent cloud I'd see today.
- rawheadrex, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6I hate to say this, but... it looks 'Shopped. Check out the largest "Original" size image, and how there are smudges here and there along the tree line, yet, the clouds, supposedly in the background, are all in perfect.... almost "too good" focus.
Also... I mean... check out the EXIF. Fuji FinePix 470?? You've got to be ***** me. Some of his other photos in that set also look shopped, and definitely do not look like they were taken with a FinePix 470, even if he did tons of enhancements in Elements 4.0 (also in the EXIF). - jdoublehcubed, on 11/14/2008, -2/+8Awesome example of HDR (high dynamic range) imaging. Thats what llows that awesome color. Check out more HDR images on here:

- MalarkeyPN, on 11/14/2008, -1/+6Just submit a duplicate. No one will notice.
- Brassbud, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4Alright, who pushed the button?
- Brassbud, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4Yeah, you're right, I can tell by the shadows.
/sarcasm
But seriously, I see what you mean. To me this looks like an HDR photo, which means it was probably run through a varity of different softwares, each of which could cause the effects you are talking about. - Brassbud, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4He's not your buddy, guy.
- xptoast, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4Boom de yada
- silentjudas, on 11/14/2008, -1/+4Gorgeous. I would have given my left nut to be the photographer of that!
- Dr3w, on 11/14/2008, -2/+5That's what she sa--
***** - jjm3210, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3You know most of those look awesome due to editing, right....?
With that being said....awesome pictures! - percypersimmon, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3
re·splen·dent : shining brilliantly : characterized by a glowing splendor - RhinoTuna, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3This planet never ceases to amaze me.
- Invader001, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2He's not your guy, pal
- mstrebe, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2First correctly applied usage of the word resplendent that I've ever seen.
- KixEvilCereal, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2I dugg this just because you didn't use the word "epic".
- Krnballerzzz, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2That looks amazing. But, it also kind of looks like a mushroom cloud :O
- mikbunn, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2I'd be ducking and covering if I saw that.
- Vector713, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Seconded! It's one of my favorite words. :)
- mattw, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2That's not beautiful. It's an alien invasion!
- amauldin71, on 11/14/2008, -1/+3Dugg for it makes a hell of a wallpaper.

Oh, did you mean relevant or just random? - palehorse864, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Independence Day
- londubh, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Reminds me of The Lion King. "Simba!"
- nmezib, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1It's a Juggernaut, bitch!
- MalarkeyPN, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Reminds me of Metroid.
- ace429k, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1its just like in independence day!
- phlezk, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1a little much on the HDR
- GrigoriSom, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1There's probably a spaceship hiding in there... waiting...
- jevidon, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1here is one I shot last year in MN: http://exposure.evidon.net/gallery/3300588_p8dLi#1 ...
- rawheadrex, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1I can't find where he says that, although that would be a dead giveaway.
I'm obviously not against fabricated photos on Flickr; as an artistic composition, anything goes, and this is very nicely done.
However, I'm no pro, but I know enough about photography to know that this is too perfect a photo. Lighting, focus, exposure, composition, timing. I'm not saying perfect photos aren't possible. but perfect photos are not taken with a Fuji Finepix 470 that you happened to have in your pocket, when you just chanced upon a perfect situation. And if the Flickr member here is trying to impress people by insinuating that he actually *shot* this photo, and he didn't, that's a bit disingenuous, me thinks. - Chesterfield, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Not a High Dynamic Range photo by any definition. The term "HDR" is incorrectly used so much these days to describe any digital enhancements.
- Chesterfield, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1How can anyone not see the touch-ups? Look at the largest version - the center has JPEG artifacts while the edges of the cloud have none. Feathered and smeared aggressively towards the edges of the cloud with no noise whatsoever. Gaussian blur on the trees and surrounding sky with a visible edge. Super saturated. Anyone here ever do digital manipulation before?
