The amazing and cool photo thread

Pictures from the Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Some really cool pics of Antarctica here.

👍 Those are unexpected!

 

[FoolKiller]

This is likely the last of these we will ever get to see.

So that explains the pixellation!

No what explains the pixellation is that its probably been saved 5000 times and reuploaded numerous times. Thus destroying the quailty.

Pictures from the Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Is that the best they've got up in the UP? They're pretty cool as far as hills go but they seem a bit like those 'meh' mountains that jut out from the Cascades into the middle of Seattle in terms of mountains. Not to spoil the Michigan fun or anything...

I'm sure they're the best anywhere between the Rockies and the Appalachians.

 

[buickgnx88]

Heh, the Porkies are I believe the highest mountains in the UP (besides Mount Bohemia). They look better in person IMO, since you can more easily see the height.

Also, have these been posted before or not?

And the making of those 3 images;

James Nachtwey has to be my favourite photographer in the world, I absolutely love his style.

Heroin addicts in serious cold turkey, Pakistan.

There are many more, sometimes shocking images, to be found on VII Photo.

Must. Have. Hi. Res.

I couldn't find that exact picture, but I found a similar shot of STS-130.

How these guys do this??

 

[livemusic]

Tilting the camera?

Tilting the camera?

Check the Heli in the uper right hand corner though.

 

[Boffin]

Proves his point more, doesn't it?

 

[bergauk]

...Not really? Thats an aerial shot taken from a Helicopter as well. The angle the helicopter in the background proves there wasn't any tilting..

 

[Boffin]

Have you seen the angle of the helicopter in the back ground? You only get that angle on GTA. I know the aerial shot was taken from a helicopter, but you can tilt a camera when you are in the air too.

 

[Alex.]

The Heli does look more realistic if you tilt your head reality-ways (right)

 

[TheCracker]

Of course it's a tilted picture. The sharp edges are peaks not cliff edges. Sand dunes just don't form that way. If you look at where the car tracks are in the bottom righthand corner, they all appear to have driven along a steep hill side when there's actually a perfectly flat bit they could have driven on. Of course this wouldn't have been the case. it's just the tilted photo showing the angled edge as a flat bit and the flat bit as an angled edge.

Hi-res of the last image perhaps Diego?

 

[FoolKiller]

I couldn't find that exact picture, but I found a similar shot of STS-130.

And I found this one:

The article I found it in is here:
http://www.universetoday.com/2010/02/08/launch/
And following the link to the photographer's blog it seems that this is his only version. His blog links to the article as the only place he has it posted.

 

[Diego440]

Hi-res of the last image perhaps Diego?

er... lemme see.

Best I can do is link you to the original site, there's a few links there to related news, so maybe you can work it out from there?
