Ice Bergs

1 Attachment(s)

This was sent to me by a friend, thought I'd share it with you.
Taken by a diver from one of the oil rigs near St Johns, Newfoundland.
They have to attach cables & tow them away from the oil rigs.
Sun was directly overhead and a diver took this picture. Estimated weight, 300,000,000, tons

Retlaw.

This is a completely false photo. The light does not add up. The bottom section looks a though it is lit from the bottom. A lot of photoshop I believe.

Already noted, have replied to sender,
also the statement that came with it, that the sun was directly overhead at the time.
We don't get the sun directly over head in Lancashire so how do they manage that in Newfoundland, the sun in the picture is from the left, see shadows on right face.

Re: Ice Bergs

How did they get a side on view of the underwater iceberg and yet a nice shot of the ship and sky above.
A put up job I say.

Thats not a ship its a shadow, if the sun had been over head as I was told that shadow would'nt be that shape.
