A series of images purporting to show images which are not in fact the result of Photoshop trickery despite looking for all the world like they are has lately been fascinating appreciators of bizarre photography:
Its generation is mathematically likened to a solitary wave, similar to rogue waves experienced out at sea. (The wave is particularly resilient to destabilization)
Pic #1 reminds me of this building in Downtown Vancouver... Its base is a lot smaller than the rest of the structure. Quite interesting architecture if you ask me...
The one of the battleship is actually not a photoshop. That pic is from the early 1980s. A boss of mine that I used to work with was in the navy for 10 years and actually served on that ship and took the pic for a magazine. He currently has it hanging on is door in his office.
I know the rolling waves pic and the red town pictures are real.
The rolling waves clouds are definitely real.
The red town is probably from Sydney when there was a dust storm. Early morning light refraction made the dust red; making the whole city and surrounding areas look red.
I know the cloud formation in picture 19 is true. I witnessed a very similar cloud formation only once in my life. The one I saw was mid day. This pic appears to be at sunrise or sunset giving the orange color in the clouds. About 30 minutes after the formation it was proceeded by one of the worst rain storms I have ever seen in-land. We had hurricane force winds even though there were no indications of this in the forecast. A bit TMI i'm sure but I figure it's better to state all the facts for anyone who found this interesting. Cheers!
Some of them really do look like shops and some of them look convincing.
#3 Some people really have made some really low lowriders like that.
#5 someone pasted a humanoid shape onto the spotlight.
AND in that link of yours, the scientists clearly said: "Theoretically, it would be possible to do this on a large scale but technically, it's totally impossible with the knowledge we have now,"
Impressive. A lot of them do look genuine, as many of the effects shown on the pics are reproduceable in RL. I just takes a lot of thought and probably a lot of time and/or patience as well. Oh and money too in some of the pictures.
Examples,
#04 Could be a pic of the delivery of A380 to the airport before first commissioning.
#05 is easy, a spotlight filter with a silluette of a person on it.
#07 a reflection on one of those office buildings full of reclective glass.
#08 probably a piece of art in an art museum.
#22 think camera angles when taking the pic.
#24 the photo was taken at the point when all the ballet dancers were at the height of their jump, all in unison to the music.
#25 and #29 if you watched the China Olympics opening/closing ceremonies and the 60th Communist anniversary they show plenty of stuff like that.
I think the A380 pic is during one of the military training. Singapore's expressway are build in a way that some of them can be runways in case of emergency.
#07 I think is actually a brick building painted to look like it has distorted windows and such. The way the light hits it doesn't suggest reflection to me, and if you look at the upper part of the image you can see some darker bricks not part of the flat surface that are typical of that kind of building (added for aesthetics)
Nope that's europe, the one way traffic sign is european. It's probably france, Paris's buidings looks exactly like the deformed ones. And I say it's a painting, we often paint the walls of the buildings that has no windows. To avoid defacing the city's looks. This one is pretty amazing though :)
I think that they are restoring the building. if you look to the bottom left, you can see some part of the original outside. (and yes, that brown'ish zone is also part of the building)
What happened in #20? Did a volcano blow up nearby?
#30. i lol'd
#24 omg loliplane
Something really cool about photography in an exceptional lighting and angle conditions.
Something that art, no matter how fantastic, really can't come close to. No diss for the arts, since life imitates art and life imitates art.
in mexico and germany are builidins like #1

What is the cloud thing in #18?

pic 13 serious just looks like a touhou screen-cap.
awesome.
Pic 004 - A380
Singapore dun have that running track..
Definitely, photoshopped..
pic 004 - A380 = this is REAL image
that bridge is at "Taxiway SC2", Changi Airport
that's normal in any airport taxiway bridge. Even there is airport's runway by half is bridge.
This makes me feel so confused.

I can vouch for this one, went past it every weekend on the Bus in London, it does sort of have a WTF quality to it when you first see it.
WHAT THE FFFFFUUUUUUUU
and here I thought it was because of my drugs...
I refuse to believe most of those pictures aren't photoshopped.
Trick photos existed long before photoshop. Ex. #21 is just a car painted to match the background from that particular angle.
These are clearly shops, i can tell from the pixles and having seen many shops in my day
They are not, you are just unable to tell if a pic is pshopped.
I think I've seen #019 before. At the end of Saikano.
The one of the battleship is actually not a photoshop. That pic is from the early 1980s. A boss of mine that I used to work with was in the navy for 10 years and actually served on that ship and took the pic for a magazine. He currently has it hanging on is door in his office.
#27 Holy crap its EAGLE JESUS!!!
20- Looks like one of the background of the first series of Hellsing xD
GG tuh kk
oh, i remember the invisible car used to be on the news....
Some of them are old-school photographer's effects, and others are sculpture art aka. IRL photoshop.
The first thing that came into my mind is "Salvador Dali"... Mmmm, flying ballerina lolis..
freaking double negative
#27 - The Baddest Eagle... EVER.
Ah, so this is how the world looks like to one who had a couple of shots too many...
On the other hand, said drunk might sees these oddities and insists they look just fine.
What kind of effects they use, if NOT PHOTOSHOP OR CAMERA TRICKERY? Am i, or everyone else is on some substance while seeing this page???
I don't believe how 25 and 26 can be real.
#30 looks like broken neck ghost from Fatal Frame
I know the rolling waves pic and the red town pictures are real.
The rolling waves clouds are definitely real.
The red town is probably from Sydney when there was a dust storm. Early morning light refraction made the dust red; making the whole city and surrounding areas look red.
I've seen such clouds once in my life... freaky shit. It looks unreal in REAL life.
This is awesome! Quite a good illusion, I'd say
A room full of levitating lolis. Pedo bear is pleased.

can anyone explain the pic no#21 ?
under what condition a car can be transparent?
The Blue Angels one was the best.
#17 is a large wireframe, work of an artist.
This looks shopped
I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time
Some of them really do look like shops and some of them look convincing.
#3 Some people really have made some really low lowriders like that.
#5 someone pasted a humanoid shape onto the spotlight.
found a link for pic 21 on the BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/8030766.stm
That's one fine work she did. She made that car vanish a lot more than scientist ever got close to make things invisible.
And here I thought she was able to scale this up:

AND in that link of yours, the scientists clearly said: "Theoretically, it would be possible to do this on a large scale but technically, it's totally impossible with the knowledge we have now,"
Looks like she' doing a magic trick show there :D
Sorry but some of them seem impossible to be real. There must be a trick to it even if it's not called photoshop
Trippy....
I like!

Have you figured out #21 yet? huh?
I think the A380 pic is during one of the military training. Singapore's expressway are build in a way that some of them can be runways in case of emergency.
No, it's a regular taxiway, the highway going to the airport runs under it...
#07 I think is actually a brick building painted to look like it has distorted windows and such. The way the light hits it doesn't suggest reflection to me, and if you look at the upper part of the image you can see some darker bricks not part of the flat surface that are typical of that kind of building (added for aesthetics)
I think its a picture of a modern building with mirror finish glass, with the reflection of the building across the street in it.
By the architecture design, it looks like somewhere in San Francisco.
Nope that's europe, the one way traffic sign is european. It's probably france, Paris's buidings looks exactly like the deformed ones. And I say it's a painting, we often paint the walls of the buildings that has no windows. To avoid defacing the city's looks. This one is pretty amazing though :)
I think that they are restoring the building. if you look to the bottom left, you can see some part of the original outside. (and yes, that brown'ish zone is also part of the building)
#22: Blue Angels fly REALLY close in formation...
