Camel Shadows

[GT]

The following is a picture taken of camels in the desert. It is considered one of the best pictures of the year (2005). Look closely, the camels are the little white lines in the picture. The black you see is just the shadows!

In case you were wondering if this was photoshopped ;) :

Wow, neat!

Pond, it is an aerial photo. Click on it for a larger image, and it's easier to see that the whitish lines are the camels as seen from above. The black images are their shadows.

the article speaks on the types of lights he used I think this was taken at dusk or night time and he made the shadows with the lights from his air machine.

that is why it is so spectacular.
