Mirage of an iceberg: yes, this is a genuine picture of a real mirage. In Antarctica they happen quite often, each time there is absolutely no wind (well, okay, that’s rare enough around windy DdU). The atmospheric turbulence needs to be really low, the air really pure (not a problem there) and dry. We saw dozens of them. The stripes in the foreground are alternating slabs of ice, snow-covered ice and sea water; the picture was taken in autumn at a time when only parts of the sea are frozen.
People often tell me that it’s impossible to take a picture of a mirage; not true: if you can see something, you can take a picture of it. Well, here the quality’s not so good because I used a doubler on a 400mm lens, and this is an enlargement of the center of the resulting picture since the mirage was quite far away and quite small.
Errmmm..Maybe I should clear this out first.. I did’nt took this pic, nor did I wrote the description…wish I had :)…sorry forgot to write the source…lolz…It was taken in Antarctica 'n I don’t live there…

now i press a button. normally you dont see any light cuz its emitted at a frequency out of range of human visual perception. but since our handy dandy sony aint a human eye, it’ll catch the light :–)
great :k:
