    Recently learned this is a double exposure image. They took an exposure in an unlit room for the lightning, then put Tesla in there reading a book and took the second exposure.

      Correct.

      Still a nice composition but it is @deceivinglyhistoryporn if not in the right context.

        Someone probably claimed AI, and then someone else was forced to correct them based on Cunningham’s Law.

        I didn’t know it was double exposure, too.

      He wasn’t there with the arcs. It’s a double-exposure photo. Take a photo with him, then remove him and start the arcs, talking a very, very short exposure photo.
