Awesome Photo

Postby Matt on Fri Feb 16, 2007 7:26 pm

check out this photo someone sent me via e-mail. It's Australia Day in Perth 2007.

It's got everything.....sunset, fireworks, lightning and in between the fireworks and lightning is McNaught's Comet

If its a real photo, which it probably is, its fucking sweet. But there's something about it that just doesnt look real its that good.

Is that real or photoshopped? An event like that to be captured is just once in a billion lifetimes. Absolutely amazing.

If it isn't photoshoped, than it's the most beautifull picture I've ever seen, for sure!

I can't judge, but I think that the fireworks are so bright that it reached the people on the right side of the pic.

As i look at it more closely, that must be photoshopped. No one is even looking at the comet or lightning. Also people wouldn't just chill in the water while lightning is striking the water.

It's photoshopped. Look at dark the water is compared to the people on the beach on that side. If there was a sunset, the water would have reflected a lot more than that. Simply put, the water is way too dark.

If it were real, then why are there half-visible people?

Cool picture though. I like it.

It is definitely a composition of more than one photograph, but it is still awesome. Is there a higher resolution version out there? I want to use this for my desktop.

Lol at the horizontal resolution...1337.
