Well it crashed my whole browser (Vivaldi, OSX) after I scrolled a bit, so Chrome has a point I guess.
If the browser crashes when rendering a site is the site dangerous or the browser buggy?
Why not both?
Two Photographers Unknowingly Shot the Same Millisecond in Time

Re: Two Photographers Unknowingly Shot the Same Millisecond in Time
#212This has always been one of my favorite photographic coincidences. https://calculatedimages.blogspot.com/2013/05/3d-lightning.h...
This article is far more amazing than the OP's link.
It's a matter of opinion but I strongly disagree, the brief existence of a lightning bolt is going to force the exact same moment out of two photographers, and they were shot from two wildly different locations. The analysis was fairly cool but I see cool things every day.
The sheer improbability of two photographers capturing the same wave in the exact same way from meters apart and publishing the same shot is captivating. There are thousands of waves daily, and thousands of interesting places to capture them.

I'm curious about your WSOP mention - did you single this one out because it (remarkably) did happen before? Or were you speculating it could happen again in the future?
Not aware of it happening before, just a random example.
Interesting! For reference, it did happen once before. In 1976 and 1977, Doyle Brunson won the WSOP with the same hand - 10-2 (a terrible hand), and it's now named after him.
The odds of the same person winning the WSOP now at all are significantly smaller as the fields have grown so much, never mind the compounding of winning it with the same hand twice :)
(To clarify, it was not the exact same hand - different suits in each case. But still pretty remarkable!)

not really. one you setup your tripod there, you are already focusing on the light house... and then when a wave is crashing in, you just hold down the shutter for a few burst shots... very easy to replicate the same shot...
say if it was a photo group... then the chance of same shot being outputted is even greater

As a side note, it is possible to train yourself to stereogram your eyes at will (I've done it). This makes "spot the difference" puzzles a triviality. Which is, in itself a triviality, but an entertaining one.
I actually got a slight amount of use out of this recent with one of the Super Mario Odyssey hint arts: http://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/super-mario... I also recently discovered you can make plain-text stereograms: O O O O O O O O O O O O O I'm sure I'm not the first but I was still amused.
It helps to use registration marks to establish the base focal plane. Compare:

#216I had a similar thing happen. While browsing Google Maps I found what looked like a poorly cropped version of one of my photos: My photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/40423570@N07/35437050686/ Their photo: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fort+Armistead+Park/@39.20... However, upon inspection I realized there were differences. It kind of blew my mind that someone had taken a picture of the same sunrise at the same…
>It kind of blew my mind that someone had taken a picture of the same sunrise at the same time, from almost the same spot. Depends on the spot. I'm sure that, on any given morning, there are probably shots taken in a place like Zabriskie Point that are effectively indistinguishable. (Of course, once there are moving objects in the frame, photos that look identical become much less likely.)
I remember going to the tour in Arizona & Utah (Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Zion Park, etc.) and in every scenic spot there were dozens of people with cameras virtually all the time. And when the sunset came, you had to get the good spots in advance because there were even more people trying to take a good shot. So there probably are hundreds of similar photos of these places out there. Still nothing like seeing it all with your own eyes though :)

The result is a pretty cool 3d photo of lightning.
It's kind of amusing that in the 3D model the lightning bolt's shadow is visible, as if it were an obstruction rather than a light source.
I think everyone who visualizes laser beams, light rays, etc. forgets to set the no_shadow property at first, and then chuckles upon seeing the result.

#218Wasn't he shooting continuously for 45 minutes? That's 3% of a day. Wouldn't he have a shot of the same millisecond of any photos taken during that time?
There are 1000 ms per second, the camera he used takes 7 frames per second.
With the described margin of error, that would be more than enough for "identical" photos.

Oh, I was only vaguely aware that he won twice in a row, so I included an additional condition cause I wanted something that didn't happen. But I guess that subconsciously I had the fact that it was the same hand in memory.
