Probably the most incredible photograph you'll see today

photo.net — By a guy called Maciek Duczynski in Norway. It's a composite. It might probably be subtle HDR. Please don't scream Photoshop whenever you see a great picture. Give the benefit of the doubt to the artist.

  • sweetrelease, on 10/10/2007, -10/+164I was about to say "oh god not another 'The most incredible _______ you will see all _____'" but this is actualy really cool
  • rompom7, on 10/10/2007, -5/+143I'd kill for a high res shot.
  • voyvf, on 11/14/2007, -0/+121it is pretty cool, at that.

  • maheshee11, on 10/10/2007, -8/+98Beautiful!
  • Philluminati, on 10/10/2007, -5/+82This was the most incredable picture I saw yesterday as well
  • murphygr, on 11/01/2007, -2/+77how much for the house?
  • GvnMcCld, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37Glad to see a picture that hasn't been overdone. Looks beautiful.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34I'd kill for a murder conviction.
  • inactive, on 11/01/2007, -10/+41Sure, those waters look still, but don't trust 'em! Damn sneeky jew-run liberal lakes. Soon they'll be voting for Nadar and smoking their damn dope!
  • inactive, on 11/01/2007, -9/+37Inaccurate. I plan on looking at porn later.
  • Samburger, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26People who yell 'shopped' when they see some great photography need to get out of their moms' basements and travel. Stuff like this exists!
  • digitaloxygen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Direct link to the larger version >> http://gallery.photo.net/photo/4920356-lg.jpg
  • apollyon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24check out the rest of this photographer's album: http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=644149
    He is very skilled.
  • BigFloppy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24It's not fake. I went to Norway less than a month ago and saw places like this. It has the most beautiful scenery i've ever seen in the world. Anywhere.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24be better if it was a decent resolution
  • DeskFlyer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Damnit and here I was hoping that there'd be a monster or giant alien spacecraft poking up out of the water. ;P
  • tominabox1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19From the image details, its HDR:

    Norway, Fjele. Panorama stitched of 4 vertical photos with 17 mm HDR, 3 exposures with step 1.66 EV
  • imkrazy182, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17http://gallery.photo.net/photo/4920356-lg.jpg biggrer pic
  • superstewy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+20Why is everyone who say's it's photoshoped getting dugg down? Of course it was edited in photoshop. That doesn't mean the pictures a fake. What do you think edited the 4 pictures together? What do you think touched up the colour?

    Idiots
  • ConnieSharp1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Fake or not, it was pleasing to mine eyes.
  • matthewf01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15and now.... Animals, Close-up, Through a Wide-Angle Lens.
  • DJPhoenix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14It's not necessary to yell photoshopped on every friggin picture. It should be taken as a given that it was shopped at some point, but ***** yell ZOMG PHOTOSHOP to somehow discredit or cheapen the work. And they do it precisely for that reason, to be *****. Hence the digg downs.
  • chrisbarr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14higher.....but not high enough.
  • abid786, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16I agree; amazing picture. But let's not make it a habit to bring back HDR images again.
  • j0ew00ds, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14At least the poster put in "probably"
  • Heggy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16Cool Photo
    Incredible? No it's by Maciek Duczynski.
  • doktorrocket, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Happy to oblige :)

  • nonpareil, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Stunning - where was this photo taken? Reminds me of the fjords of Norway.

    Edit: It is.
  • fejas, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10very well done, fantastic setting.
  • jun2san, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I would love to see a post that says:
    Most Incredible Picture Ever [Pic]: (Title says all)
    and then when you click on it, it takes you to a picture of the digg frontpage with a picture tab.

    Can someone make this so I can digg it up?
  • Heggy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Taking apart the word incredible it could be taken that it cannot to be credited to anyone (loosely). I was just trying to a wee bit of word play.
  • leboff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4920356&size=lg
  • wicketr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8To me, this is amazing NATURE more so than incredible photography.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Too bad it only looks like that 8 weeks out of the year
  • BrainInAJar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7does it make it any less pretty?

    who gives a ***** if it's photoshopped or photographed or painted... art is art
  • heppareppana, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7it actually looks even better because no photo can compete with the human eye.
    You always lose most of the magic when flattening our world into 2 dimensions.
  • digitaloxygen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Sorry your wrong. Details of the photo indicate the following "Panorama stitched of 4 vertical photos with 17 mm HDR, 3 exposures with step 1.66 EV"
  • deviouster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5do places like this really exist? :O
    /hates tucson
  • kjcdude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+51680x1050?
  • djempirical, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6HDR goaste?
  • dallyp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I thought it was quite clever.
  • dannykeithjames, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You must have a very small screen. The picture is only 35000 bytes.
  • monospaced, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Awesome. Did you notice that the boat in the mountain's shadow is actually lighter than the other boats? HDR is awesome, but has some inherent flaws.
  • givinupthefight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4What shadow? You mean the one from the MOUNTAIN in the picture? Oh all apologies, next time we'll make sure he moves the damn mountain so its more to your liking. Jackass.
  • magicmarc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Am i the only one who immediately thought of Vista's desktop?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Incredible is the opposite of credible, not creditable.
  • magic1whiz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4"Please don't scream Photoshop whenever you see a great picture. Give the benefit of the doubt to the artist." What the hell are you talking about? Of COURSE its Photoshop, the photographer even tells you that. He vertically stitched four photos together and used HDR. Now of course I'm not downplaying the guy, its a very good photo. But just look at some photos by Ansel Adams, when you DIDN'T have photoshop, and it took DAYS not HOURS to actually get the look you were looking for. I just give more credit where credit is due.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Is there any ***** decent resolution photo? I'm tired of looking at these ***** blurry thumbnails of something I'm supposed to be amazed at.
