I got this screen cap from video I took on my iPhone during a thunderstorm 2 weeks ago.

And I took this picture last month out at the Hoover Dam using a tilt shift filter.

^Awesome.

I love tilt-shift photos:tup:.

Here's the video. You couldn't get me near that tower.

I've seen better examples of using tilt and shift lenses in this way but it's Machu Picchu so it gets shared

Machu Picchu, Peru

Amazing pics again.

I call Stupid the guy standing on the tower.

On September 26, a large solar coronal mass ejection smacked into planet Earth's magnetosphere producing a severe geomagnetic storm and wide spread auroras. Captured here near local midnight from Kvaløya island outside Tromsø in northern Norway, the intense auroral glow was framed by parting rain clouds. Tinted orange, the clouds are also in silhouette as the tops of the colorful shimmering curtains of northern lights extend well over 100 kilometers above the ground. Though the auroral rays are parallel, perspective makes them appear to radiate from a vanishing point at the zenith. Near the bottom of the scene, an even more distant Pleiades star cluster and bright planet Jupiter shine on this cloudy northern night.

Must be, I'm trying to figure what if anything it's from. Amazing though for sure.

Meant to post this along with the picture, but I was in a hurry.

Although it’s supposed to represent fragility, the house is a hulking 5.5 feet tall and 6 feet across, and made of somewhere between 110-130 thousand pieces.

Holy crap.

 

[Horde_R35]

Big Foot?!

 

[TheCracker]

Big Foot?!

That's got to be a photoshop. Otherwise he's getting on for 9ft. People as tall as that are not as 'well built' as that.

Yeah i really cant tell either. Have you noticed the beer on his hand? looks real .

 

[PeterJB]

That's definitely fake. The other three guys don't appear to be standing on the ground, and their outlines against him aren't particularly convincing.

Plus, he looks about a foot taller than the tallest living man.

 

[Dravonic]

Yep fake. You can see the weird outlines from the photoshop.

 

[Ibonibo]

+ the shadows don't match

 

[DG_Silva]

That's what I thought, it looks like the light sources are different on all four people...

 

[Slick Rick]

I love studying pictures and spotting photoshops... makes me feel like a detective.... either that or Ive been playing LA Noire too much :/

 

[Keef]

Photoshop THIS.

Saturn eclipse.

NINE_HUNDRED beat you.

FYI, the dot above the bright rings on the left side is Earth.

 

[Dennisch]

Doh. I suck.
