Guest idavid Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 if that was real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? :D
Guest idavid Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 before or after it ate you? i dont think you would have had time! :D
Guest squall Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 i think we should have a modaco photo of the year comp0 - pics must be taken from smartphones?
Guest ukpauls Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...ooftheyear.html not real
Guest sn328721 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 i second that vote for a photo of the year for MoDaCo. would be good to see what ppl can come up with!!
Guest stevewright Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 If any mods are reading this, I'd be more than happy to receive the entries to such a competition and sort them, process them etc. Smartphone prizes to be won perhaps :wink: Just wondering how I could prove they came from a smartphone :?:
Guest ferret Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Just wondering how I could prove they came from a smartphone  :?: You could tell by the crap quality :!:
Guest SystemicAnomaly Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Found it! http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/photos/shark.html Along with some other great hoax photos! *SystemicAnomaly loads up smartPhotoShop on his E200! lol
Guest ferret Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Along with some other great hoax photos! www.b3ta.com is always good for a laugh.
Guest ncolli1981 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 real or not it is still a cracking picture
Guest mike-oh Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 I was about to point out that thats the Golden Gate bridge in San Fransisco in the background therefore not real as its thousands of miles out but the national geographic nicely points that out. This however.......shark.jpg
Guest mike-oh Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 I can't vouch 1st hand for its authenticity but i'd say yes way! These were also passed to me at the same time. The one i'm dubious about is the lightning, seems too perfect and the flash doesn't appear to be illuminating anywhere else. I've added one of my own to the following mix too, see if you can spot it!Sunset.jpgMtFuji.jpgsun.jpglightning.jpgtanker.jpg
Guest mattat Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Apparantly the shark/surfer one is a real picture, but isn't a shark - it's a dolphin. I think the storm one with the tanker is fake as well. The best place I've found to check is www.snopes.com and check out the photo gallery section. It's fairly good at de-bunking fakes.
Guest mike-oh Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 what makes you think the tanker one is fake? looks pretty real/possible to me!
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 the tanker would be easy to fake, but often the strangest photos are natural phenomenons.
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Here's my 'photo of the year'IMAGE_00086.jpg
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Another one for you; 'South Africian Road Works' When I was on holiday I saw this amusing bit of road, it just ends. No signs, no barriers, no nothing. There's not even any construction equiptment around! I feel sorry for the poor soul who takes the wrong exit of that motorway!DSCF0046.JPG
Guest idavid Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 just found this from the bbc news site. what a stupid looking sheep! :D apparently it evaded shearing for six years!49002_34533.jpg
Guest mattat Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Sorry, I was wrong about the Tanker one, I looked at http://www.snopes.com/photos/isabel.asp and while it is rated as false, this is because of the story, not the picture. As for the shark one then see http://www.snopes.com/photos/surfer.asp
Guest Coucou Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 just found this from the bbc news site. what a stupid looking sheep! :D apparently it evaded shearing for six years! I was gonna post that! Heard an interview with one of the guys looking after it, apparently it doesn't think it's a sheep! It won't eat grass and it won't associate with other sheep, but it's quite friendly with people.
Guest mike-oh Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Sorry, I was wrong about the Tanker one, I looked at http://www.snopes.com/photos/isabel.asp and while it is rated as false, this is because of the story, not the picture. As for the shark one then seehttp://www.snopes.com/photos/surfer.asp Yeah, i never got a story with any of the photographs. But as a bit of an extreme weather enthusiast i could've told you that that was no approaching hurricane. Any news on that lightning one? Seems dodgy to me!
