Nice picture, wish I'd been there to see it......

The sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point Thursday, 13th. March 2011. A scene you will probably never get to see in person, take a moment and enjoy.

That one appears to have had some artistic license applied. Nice picture though

I'll say, if the moon were that close I think we'd be in trouble. Lol. Nice image all the same.

Ha ha ha - just goes to show eh - it was sent to me by a good friend on facebook - I've not seen it before and had no good reason to doubt it - but hey ho - I still liked the picture!

Cheers,

Plus the bottom of the pic is water hence the reflection so if north pole it would be frozen lol

Could actually be cgi as well. I've done very similar images myself using stuff like Vue.

It probably [certainly] is cgi and such a shame really. I have been taking photographs since the early 70's, starting in B&W and combining that with colour later on and now finally I have succumbed to digital. In 40 years of photography I can say, hand on heart, that I have never, ever faked a picture, never adjusted one in the darkroom (perhaps a little dodging or burning to recreate what the eye would see) or more recently, altered one in the computer. I pride myself on being able to take a picture in the camera that can be printed, unaltered, and still be pretty good. I find it sad that modern technology has given us so many 'scene' modes that there is little requirement to know what one is doing anymore. (sigh)

I once took a pic of my mate topless & wearing a towel like a turban, & another of an oil can with a long spout then i done some dodging & turned him into a Genie coming out of the oil can.

My dad is the same shiny, been a professional photographer since before I was born (so at least 33 years). He's only just gone digital as he refused to "muck about" with pictures. The digital age can offer a lot of benefits but take away some of the charm of old school development. I remember spending time i nthe dark room with my dad learning what all the different chemicals did, was great fun. At least we can look back fondly and remember, another generation will never have that.

That's fine, making artificial, funny photos, that's all part of the game. So too is constructing pictures for advertising purposes and the like.

Nice pic though Simon. On this forum, no matter what you post or state, someone will tell you you are wrong, or something different!!!
