For those who might not have seen. I thought this was cool. Pictures worth a thousand words.
Thats so fake… You can tell its photoshopped… he has no reaction to the whale … and the name looks fake…
what do you think… lol
That and they just happened to be taking a pic at that boat at that exact second
Another one of these:
Yeah well everyone knows the shark ones fake by now. The other was on MSN, so I figured they likely checked their sources and looked at the image pretty well.
do u see the photoshopness?? they are pulling a bp here
I did the same thing with photo shop not long ago!
before pic than 2 after pics… me my bro and both of our kids.
:BEER
Nice Tim, photoshop rules.
it seems real. fish do jump. once while salmon fishing the Black river, in NY, a 10 year old girl fishing with her dad got hit by a 35 pound salmon jumping on the spawn in the river. jumped straight in the boat and hit her in the chest. broke a rib. but as they were closing the ambulance door she asked her dad with a worried voice: Did you get the fish Dad? He said, oh yeah, you bet your life. and she smiled ear to ear!
while fishing with my boat out west, the large gray whales where migrating south. a pair once passed my boat while i was trolling. they swam by so close i could almost reach them with my hand. when one alongside me was checking me out with its big black eye, all i could do was wave and say hi! the tail was 10-12 feet across, tip tp tip, and when they kicked the water boiled up in a mound a foot high. nice critters. but they too jump .
Hows the scotch Ken… lol…
The main fallicy i see is, how could the person on the boat take a picture from that angle. Werner produced the picture for the media… hmmm sounds fishy…
its so fake though… he has no reaction at all to the whale… which he would have saw… Also he is sailing very awkwardly with just the Genoa up and wearing foul weather gear…
Ill put money on it thats its fake
they jump quick, he was looking another way or tending the wheel. a small sail would be just the ticket to hover slowly with a pod of whales. check the splash of water runing off the whale, bouncing off the hull of the boat. and the whales shadow on the hull. i think it’s real. the pic was taken by a tourist, nearby on a whale watching ship, also following the whales. there is only the one pic. they saw the pic of their boat and whale the next day in the paper. they didnt take their own picture. see slide 6 of 6 in the slide show. slide 3 says they found whale skin and blubber on the boat.
hmm maybe it is real but blime y it looks fake
in the series, where is the whale actually landing? i’d make sure to not just get the shot of the whale in the air, but get a series of pics, showing the real extent of the encounter. sorry april fool’s for me.
If you actually read it there are several pics including the devastation of the boat afterwards…

well, i did actually read it. my post does imply that the whale ON the boat is the money shot, not something that is open for interpretation, not the devastation caused by any number of things possible on the open water, if you actually read my post. lOl
there was a follow up live interview with the couple of the smashed sail boat today on the news. like they said, they didnt see the whale coming at them, they thought when i sounded a couple hundred yards before them it would come up on the other side of the boat. but they where under sail. quiet . whales have poor eye sight and navigate by sound. so it breached not knowing they were there. Plot. Chards of blubber all oveer the place from thrashing around with the sharp , bent masts and stuff.
the boat couple say they will have the mast replaced in a week or so, and be back out on the water. only this time , if whales are near, they will start the diesel engine to let the whales know they are there.
Hey, Havent you ever stepped on the cat sleeping in the hall at night?
uhhh… whales and boats… Same thing.

Not sure how your camera works, but with my point and shoot it isn’t easy to say, “OMG that whale looks like it’s going to hit the boat. Let me go into settings, rapid shot, lower the resolution, ok I’m ready, and the whale is already back in the water and I didn’t get a single shot!” I’m sure they took as many pictures as they could, but at the same time all of this didn’t happen over the span of the 2-3 minutes it would take me to get the setting perfect to get the series of shots I would have liked to take, given the opportunity, given I could see the future and knew this was going to happen. Come on Paul.
People are animals to, not robots. Difficult to think clearly when something like this happens in person. Adrenalin is pumping. Most of us would be worried about the woman who was moments before standing on that side of the boat. There is a good chance that whale could have sunk that boat as well.
I’m not a massively large fan of the media in general. That being said with as many papers, shows, websites, and news broadcasts that have covered this I am sure this was looked into before released.

i was wrong, humbly apologize.
Oh good. another tourist on the sight seeing boat had a movie camera too. I’ve always used one of thes new fangled instamatic cameras. mine has been up more mountains and places than most people have. always works. just click. no focus.
Idiot proof.
