The following is a picture taken directly above these camels in the desert at sunset. It is considered one of the best pictures of the year. Look closely, the camels are the little white lines in the picture. The black you see are just the shadows!!

 

I just cant see it :blink::D

I've got a book called "Earth from the air" which is full of beautiful photographs like (and including) that. Been out a while now mind.

 

I also saw it as an exhibition in Birmingham - very impressive.

I've looked into getting that before and might do so on the back of your recommendation. I've got quite a few photography books at home. The Photo Book published by Phaedon (sp?) is absolutely fantastic. You need the full-sized hardback version though.

Can you imagine toonraider trapesing round that? She wouldnt have a fucking clue what was going on. :blink:

 

They're taken from the air man woman man! High up in the air!

 

She doesnt travel by 'iron bird' either iirc. Probably thinks its witchcraft.

Sorry like, but this is beyond retarded. :blink: What do you mean you're having trouble seeing them as shadows? What do you think the white things are, mounds of camel-shaped tipp-ex?

Regards the book Alex, it does what it says on the tin as they say. Have a look in Waterstones, costs about £40, but it's a nice thing to own.
