Re: Classic photo of huge snake

It's a shame the snake was killed. But that's a forced perspective pic to make the snake look a lot bigger than it actually is

Some things never change.

Mate, Please one of you provide an example of a "forced perspective pic" (of a snake)similar to the one I posted. Why waste time assuming? You could just ask. Lets see what you got

If you hold something out in front of you to take a picture, it makes whatever you're holding look bigger as it is in the forefront of the picture and is called forced perspective. There's no assumption happening here as that's what is going on with this picture, without question. Thank you for the picture, regardless of everything else, it is a cool shot.

Used google image search...found this link...
