Famously, Ben Franklin proved that lightning is actually electrical slicing through the atmosphere. Darren Pearson’s image effectively conveys the strength of electricity. According to Pearson, he used a long exposure on his camera to get this picture, which showed the electricity moving as it went through the tree and into the ground. The color shifts demonstrate how the electricity’s intensity decreased once it was grounded. Online critics assert that the lightning’s color and pattern have been altered, making the image fraudulent. That being said, this is still a powerful picture.
