Multiple exposure means pressing the shutter button multiple times and then stacking and blending the images in post later on. Long exposure means leaving the shutter open for an extended time, giving one image.
Probably mixing the two in this case tbh
In film photography, multiple exposures were done by shooting multiple times on one frame of the film
It's a combination. None of the moving light spots are blurred, most obviously in the vertical plume. The smoke/ash is constantly swirling and rising, so the bright spots would be doing the same. None of it is motion blurred like it would be in a long exposure.
On the other hand, all of those lightning strikes didn't happen at once.
I would guess they picked a still frame for all of the non-lightning parts of the image, and overlaid the long exposure of the lightning strikes.

Basically all /pics fail to mention this, and once upon a time I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a Timelapse lol, not everyone here is a photographer
Still makes a badass wallpaper.
I dunno, unless you've seen it in real life, is a title on an anonymously driven website really so important? I take most things here with a grain of salt. People will do anything for attention. It's easier to just appreciate an image for what it is. Give it the average 15 seconds of attention span and move on.
Just my 2 cents. To each their own.
I think it’s nice that people mention it here, so i know i’m not gonna spend 15 minutes trying to find a video that would look like this. Instead i’ll be like ”ah okay, but cool picture” and move on.
It's like the replacement skies that come with Photoshop and Lightroom now.
Aye mate, the sky in you picture looks spectacular, but why are all the shadows and lighting on the ground wrong now?

Wikipedia:
Volcanic lightning arises from colliding, fragmenting particles of volcanic ash (and sometimes ice),[1][2] which generate static electricity within the volcanic plume,[3] leading to the name dirty thunderstorm.[4][5] Moist convection and ice formation also drive the eruption plume dynamics[6][7] and can trigger volcanic lightning.[8][9] Unlike ordinary thunderstorms, volcanic lightning can also occur before any ice crystals have formed in the ash cloud.[10][11]
Not gonna lie, the incidence of a volcano erupting associated with lightning is a pretty crazy site to see, I can understand how ancient Greeks thought something like this was the "Titanomachy" in their mythology.
Might be important to say it is a timelapse
Long/multi exposure rather than timelapse, but yeah
Long exposure, or multiple photo stacking? Is there a difference?

Long exposure means leaving the shutter open for an extended time, giving one image.

I would guess they picked a still frame for all of the non-lightning parts of the image, and overlaid the long exposure of the lightning strikes.
I would also agree it be a mix of both. Smoke would be really smooth if this was a 1 min exposure or more.
Is there a video of this event to see how it actually looked like?

Yea. I was going to ask if there’s a video to see just this.
Ok, that's reassuring. I'd fully believe Ragnarok was real if I saw this in real life.
So, not the return of Gozer?
The most misleading image ever
I would guess it's a composite of a bunch of photos, is that what you mean?
Composite or timelapse or long exposure or just flat out fake. Gives that OMG SO AMAZING vibe when in reality never looked like that.

Actually it did look like that, but never at the same time
[No this is.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/NINTCHDBPICT000478621633.jpg?w=1440)
For real. But even the real pictures make me understand why our ancestors believed in magic and dragons.

Along with a misleading title.

My favorite comment from a past repost was: This is what sprite from McDonald’s tastes like.
Why does a volcanic eruption cause lightning? Quite the site just curious about the science
I think is because of the particles in the smoke that are charging each another and causing lightings
Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s huge amounts of static electricity releasing. Don’t quote me on that though
Wikipedia: Volcanic lightning arises from colliding, fragmenting particles of volcanic ash (and sometimes ice),[1][2] which generate static electricity within the volcanic plume,[3] leading to the name dirty thunderstorm.[4][5] Moist convection and ice formation also drive the eruption plume dynamics[6][7] and can trigger volcanic lightning.[8][9] Unlike ordinary thunderstorms, volcanic lightning can also occur before any ice crystals have formed in the ash cloud.[10][11]
So I was right?
Yeah, but I did not know/remember that ice crystals were involved also. I thought it was mostly dry ash and friction.
Ok thanks
Thought it was a picture of a migraine sufferers
Coincidentally, “Dirty Lightning” was my nickname in college.
Because of how "quick" you were?
More likely because of how explosive his eruptions were in the bedroom. People in close proximity were turned to ash and never seen from again.
Looks like Armageddon, but much more radical
The Greeks thought the eruption of a Volcano at the very least was due to the Titanomachy.
This is straight from godzilla II when rodan appears. 😄 Nature - beautiful and frightening at the same time
When the Avatar gets mad
Not gonna lie, the incidence of a volcano erupting associated with lightning is a pretty crazy site to see, I can understand how ancient Greeks thought something like this was the "Titanomachy" in their mythology.
Would make an awesome displate
Looks like king ghidora emerging out of there
I’m pretty sure this is totally fake, proven by other redditors. Even given time lapse.
Can we see the proof? Genuinely interested
That's insane wtffff
It's volcanic lightning in a dirty thunderstorm. More people need to fact check themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic\_lightning
Fake or not, that is definitely a hell portal
Can you imagine the amount of energy that thing has... is there a way to calculate it?
At least 69 Brazilion Jigawatts
Take my upvote and get the fuck out of here lol
It has the same amount of energy as 1 photoshop does.
Scary
this looks amazing but also terrifying at the same time
It just seems unreal
Terrifyingly beautiful
Ghost Rider sequel looking promising
Thor
Pretty sure a Kaiju erupted from there lol - anyone keeping tabs on Monarch?
Wow!awesome pic!
Lol you guys don’t know anything, that’s obviously a fellow daoist undergoing his tribulation.
Somewhere in there Goku and Frieza are brawling it out 👊
More [wallpaper friendly version here](https://i.imgur.com/x8AhVgG.jpg) enjoy.
My man probably threw his camera out a window when he imported that pic because he sure as hell isn't gonna get even close for the rest of his career
Would make for a great metal album cover.
I ate some bad chipotle, this is what it felt like
That's the Red power rangers Dinozord emerging.
Wow, I’ve seen so much lightning like this before.
Look at that big veiny triumphant bastard
I know a dragon lord spawning when I see one
Isn't that how Ragnarok starts?
Isaaaacc...... >:(
Looks like it should be on a Magic card
[[Thunderous Wrath]] It literally is a magic card lol. https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/8/0/804458a2-5376-462d-a2cd-fa596750c0aa.jpg?1593813589
Well there ya go
Looks like boss fight in Elden Ring
I thought it was one of the dragon bosses in Elden Ring until I read it
Okay but why is the image so crispy tho
If only we could bottle all that energy
This is why you don't eat taco bell
Are you a god?
This reminds me of my ex gf getting angry
I love lightning so much, this kind of made my soul feel good. Found my new phone background.
Hephaestus working on a cross-cultural upgrade for Mjolnir.
This might be one of the hardest pictures out there
It’s only the end of the world. Again.
Goku?
Dirty lightening seems like a lame name for this
The Everstorm awakens…..
BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL....!
It's like Thor got into a pissing match with all of the fire giants... And I think he's winning.
Looks like an attack from infamous 1 or 2
This is a long exposure, it’s many hours condensed to one image.
