The amazing and cool photo thread

Hugo Pinheiro's HUGE air (this guy is just amazing):

 

[TB]

You just like him because his name is Hugo, Hugo.

Nope nope nope nope nope...

Nope nope nope nope nope...

Any source? I'm kind of doubtful of its authenticity.

Proportions do seem odd, and the fact there's no shade visible in the image also make me doubt it's real.
Though I'd hardly be susprised it it were indeed real; seen a lot of amazing shots of stuff I never thought could/would be done...

 

[Antonisbob]

Maybe a model jet (R/C).

 

[nealcropper]

I'm gonna put myself on the line here and say that it's real. The lack of a shadow could be explained. Also I don't thin it's a RC because the plane looks right in relation to everything else around it. Also the haze from the jet's behind, could be shopped, but looks real.

In short, amazing shot.

 

[DaDog]

I have no idea if that is real or not , but if it is hell i would not wanna be in that jet

You know how it works, buddy; we gotta stick out for each other.








So we can rule the world someday.

You can kind of see a shadow. The sun is shining directly on the plane from about 2-3 o'clock, and you can see a faint shadow at about 7 o'clock in the photo.

It's an Italian Tornado, so if this image is real, there is likely a news story somewhere about how fired that pilots ass was.

^^^^The city looks like a video game. Awesome shot though, makes me wonder how some of these awe inspiring shots are captured sometimes.

 

[nobuffalo]

That one was probably really simple to get, actually. It's a 30 second exposure and I'm sure the camera it was taken with (D700) has a mode which will allow shot after shot to be taken for as long as you want. The camera can literally be set up and left for hours while it takes pictures.

Probably not the same location, but it's effectively the exact same thing being done here:



Considering the haze and the lighting, it's 99.9% likely to be real.

And in 30 years, we'll look back at that microSD and find amusement in its size.



CAT scanner without casing.

 

[Slash]

Saw that on my FB feed yesterday.

 

[GregTheStig]

Re: Tornado pic, I'm pretty sure it's real. It's hard not to find a photo of a Tornado flying low over an airfield. That's just what they do lol

Big photo warning

Some awesome panoramas by Joshua Meador. I took a few out of his album to make the loading suck less, so the rest of them in full size are right myaah and his website is over myaah.

I strongly suggest looking at the wall-paper versions I linked to above.

Also, Dubai.

Also, planes.

 

[Alex.]

There will never be enough planes in this thread.

 

[somebody]

How about dining with them. Australian War Memorial.

 

[axletramp]

CAT scanner without casing...

Jeez, no wonder they cover it up. Who in their right mind would get inside that thing? Looks like something Skynet would use.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

How about...

Can I sit in the SE5 and throw food at people sat in the Albatross?

 

[Slash]

I'd classify this as cool. It's a PS3 hooked up an 11,520 square foot screen in a football stadium. Legit.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Wow. That's a big screen!

 

[terminator363]

From that distance it would be like looking at your tv at home

 

[Madertus]

"Oh dear, I think there's a fly on the screen."
"Where?"
"12 meters from the left, 7 from the top."

Wait that's just kikie

I've seen this done at a couple of stadia now, one day I'll find the opportunity!

Amazing link! Russian stuff always looks badass for some reason.

This is now probably my favorite picture. Ever.
