Some moments can be captured only once in a lifetime and when that moment comes you better hold on to it and make it last by photographing it with your camera. Here is a revision of the most unique moments captured on national geographic photos in the past 3 years.
A big thanks to all professional photographers that are out there, bringing this kind of beautiful photography into our lives. They are one happy people and there is only one thing to be said about there efforts. Sometimes happiness is a blessing, but generally it is a conquest. Each day’s magic moment helps
Nice beneficial information. I will join your blog. Thnx. continue the excellent work
We gotten these through Ask. This seems a terrific web page. My spouse and i diligently experienced looking through ones article, and i also are going to be bound to give back. My partner and i bookmarked the write-up i likewise propagate ones own website to a few relations on top of that. I think you’ll don’t your head!
I’ve been following your web site for some time now and finally, I decided to write this post in order to thank you for providing us such a fine content!!!
Hi…………………
This is a nice blogs I liked it very much it is really awesome thanks for the sharing.
wow! great collection ever…
The one with the taxis reminds me of Grand Theft Auto.
There is a difference between faked in post and setup on site. Many of these images looked staged, for example the fishermen could be models, the swan could have been placed in the shot, the tent setup with a light in front of the northern lights, the elephant ridden to the waterfalls, horse riding on road with stumpy trees, etc. The fish below the fisherman is 100% double image. This was admitted by NG about a simular image with a stingray. A few of these images are authentic, non-commercial photography-esk.
FantastiC!
It’s very well known worldwide that National Geographic thoroughly checks each photo and
negative for any alterations. The National Geographic magazine is trusted worldwide for
publishing the facts and not relying cheap photo altering tricks. I have seen a lot of
their articles and was fascinated at the images. They leave the dishonesty to the sad
pathetic and lonely high school & collage students and those that seclude themselves in
bedrooms and dank basements taking pleasure in attempting to deceive others with the
photos or writing viruses to destroy others PC’s. Those are in the top of the lowest
people trash on God’s green Earth. It really takes a really big piece of sad trash to do it.
I wonder if they ever think about the harm and damage they willing and purposely cause.
The loss of important work & info, some that has taken weeks to enter. I think when their
caught and do prison time and never be allowed to touch a computer again and work to pay
for the damage they’ve caused. I wish I could create a program to track them down and
destroy their PC’s and see how they like buying a new one. Remember….
“WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND”
The pics is all excellent, the photographer know exaclty the angle… its awesome
Cool, very cool. Tks 4 share NatGeo! : )
I always look at the clouds, and they can really have strange forms. But the colors on the penultimate picture are at least intensified (or the picture is made on Jupiter).
And don’t say that photo’s were not manipulated in the “pre-photoshop era”. Colored lenses can be used, or ‘damped’ lenses. There are techniques to influence colors etc during the developing process. And after developed, they could be printed on transparents (even with a light base coloring) then combined into layers and with the use of special artificial light photographed again.
Wonderful comment! It is always a pleasure reading feedback from people who actually know what they are talking about.
In addition, you have given us an interesting research assignment.
Thanks!
With over three decades experience in Photography, as well as having been a Graphic Arts photographer in the ’70′s, before the existence of Photoshop; I’d say I’m pretty good at detecting faked photos. I can also say that I’ve been fortunate enough to be in the right place, at the right time, to catch some pretty remarkable shots with my camera.
Those of you who are so quick to claim ‘Photoshop’ because your reliance on it may be the only way you can come up with a fantastic image, might try researching a few back issues of National Geographic (pre-photoshop era) to discover the fact that they’ve been practicing the highest standards in photography for many decades.
While you’re at it, try looking up the work of Eadweard Muybridge, from more than a century ago. He was an incredible photographic pioneer. You may be surprised with his work.
Great photos, too bad that they’re as tiny as thumbnails. Can’t really make out much.
Sure some have been enhanced a little in Photoshop but wow, what fab shots they’ve been to start with. Excellent work.
2 is in Latvia.
This is a very nice post, I’ve seen quite a few posts like this over time, but yours is by far the best. As for all you photo shop skeptics, your all idiots, seriously. Do you really think National Geographic shops their photos? And let me ask, what in particular is photoshopped? Every photo here is simply the result of being at the right place at the right time. You guys should all do yourselves a favor and watch BBC’s “Planet Earth” series, then maybe after seeing amazing moments such as these caught on film (and documented) you might not all be so skeptical.
It is evident that all images are processed in Photoshop. Do you have personal experience in working in photoshop so you can see it especially well?
I doubt National Geographic would show these if they were that blatantly photoshopped. I don’t see any I think are photoshopped. National Geographic employs some of the best photographers and it shows.
If you really want to give credit to the photographers, than actually do so. Post their names and credits. …Might be hard to do with a number of them appearing to be photoshopped compositions…
Great collection !
Aren’t most of the shots photoshopped? They seem to be. They look really stunning, though. Some of them have been repeated but they still look just as awesome.
oh my god that’s super
It would be great if you could also list the photographer with the photographs that you show. I would love to look them up.
