The amazing and cool photo thread

[Bopop4]

Aft gun, center barrel. Is that the projectile exiting? Fantastic timing for that photo either way.

I think it's just the orientation of the barrel, since that shells would have all been gone a long time ago. (Unless that one had a problem/was delayed.)

Looks like something out of a sci-fi movie

EDIT: Mind = blown

Not really. Looks like an overturned tree with a guy laying on it. Probably got hit by a hurricane.

Raising of the German war flag over the Acropolis, during WWII.

The demonstration of Naziism atop of a place like the Acropolis, with its symbolism conveying imagery of democracy, harmony, classical civilisation and pretty much what all of the western world is founded upon... to have such absolute power and absolute contempt for humanity at the same point is pretty amazing to me. Whether amazing and cool in a good way or a bad way.

I've done something similar with a computer monitor and existing photos by matching the perspective of the diorama with the perspective at which the photo was taken. tricky, but still nowhere near as convincing as what you shared:

Can you guess where this is?

At first I thought it was a screenshot of someone's screwed up monitor.

With that boat picture.

Where is the boat that carries the boat that carries ships?

 

[Diego440]

This is a ship-shipping ship, shipping shipping ships

I'm guessing is from under some ice maybe. Looks great though.

I'm not usually one for military stuff but this photo is incredible. Oh, and it was taken on an iPhone. Edited using VSCO Cam.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Very cool! Airborne!!

I'm going with a reflection rather than from under the ice. It'd be a much easier photo to take for one.

Reminds me of all these brown jellyfish I saw one day snorkeling off Noarlunga jetty once.

If GTP would have conspiracy theorists, they'd start rambling about HAARP after seeing this picture.

 

[ND4SPD]

And I thought it was Red Dawn.

IF?!? I would say we have a plethora of pinatas conspiracy theorists.
