  1. Sunset At The North Pole

    this is one of the most amazing photographs you will ever see ! It was taken (not by me ) at the north pole during sunset time when the moon is at its lowest. The exposure for this photo is absolutley spot on . i think you will agree with me this is a fantastic shot . I hope you enjoy it as much as i do please feel free to leave your comments
     

  2. YOUR COMMENTS:


  3. its a great picture.i always thought that the sun and the moon appear the same size in the sky wherever you are on earth,but the moon looks too big (even allowing for the moon appearing slightly larger when near to the horizon).is it a genuine photo?

  4. yep its spot on genuine it has not been touched up in soft ware i am told i think the moon looks bigger cos at the north pole it will seem nearer than the sun !

  5. Love to be there and see it in real life. Where are the polar bears and David Attenborough

  6. It's a shame the boat wasn't a bit further back so that the tog could've captured the full reflection of the moon in the water. That would've elevated it from a very good photo to an excellent one.

  7. Hammer/Slarti/Greenlander.......your sacked....


    I thought the pic was amazing....and has now much to daughters disgust replaced Steven Gerrard as our wallpaper.

  8. A friend of mine here in NZ works as an electrician at Mc Murdock base in Antartica & when i sent him the link to this he just laughed .
    Saying that the moon never looks so big ? North or South poles ?
    He reckons the real landscape at either pole does'nt need such Photoshop wizardrey.

    it the moon was viewed from the equator,and then at the north pole(a difference of about 4000 miles),the actual size of the moon wouldnt be that noticably different.and it certainly wouldnt look that big compared to the sun.

  10. It was made by this woman http://www.gatetonowhere.de/ see the news article she wrote on 20.06.2006 about her image "hideaway" for an explanation...

    It was featured by NASA as "Astronomy Picture of the Day" http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060620.html - also an explination

    Its really good though, thanks for posting it, anyone want to come on a trip to the north pole to make our own?

  11. your right green lander . the second link says it all . " the sun and the moon would look the same size still i like the pic and its on my pc staring at me now . I have some more bike pics to show ( my main subject ) some fron the NEC bike show and others from The far east. the second set i am awaiting approval i can use them We shot them on location for a bike racing team and i think they want to copy right them . i will post asap
    Thanks Greenlander
