It’s because the lightning strike is so bright that it completely blows out the camera’s sensor - there are so many photons that the photoreceptors are completely saturated.
- detrites 4y agoThough I knew exactly what it was, I was also confused by it. The title implied that what was previously hidden was going to be revealed. Then, a large chunk of what happened continuing to be entirely obscured was disorienting. I thought there'd at least be more, eg a second camera where the part during the flash would be revealed, as I'd have expected if someone set up to film lightning in slo-mo they'd have set a sensible exposure for the purpose.
